I have always had female dogs and they have never marked. They are very affectionate as well.
I think you need to go see the dog and see how you bond with it bc dogs have personalities just like us and some affectionate and some are more independent.
Hold the puppy and see if it likes being held and etc. Good luck, Pray about it and you will make the right decision for you! good luck!
