I think that it is best to pick the personality of the dog that would best suit your lifestyle. the breeder should do a temperament assessment of each pup they have, and match the dog to the owner. Some dogs are more active, inquisitive, and need more exercise than others. Some are more aloof.

Now having said that, when we were looking for our first dog, my husband always owned females, and I mainly males. We had lots of discussions about male versus female. What we came to was an agreement on the temperament we wanted. Our oldest male gets more affectionate every year. Highly intelligent, strong willed, and training is now a breeze. He lives to work, and is very secure in himself and our love.

Our youngest male, has always be a cuddle bug. He as he matures is turning out to be ready to work and loves to train.

Our female although quite affectionate, definitely is more aggressive. As she matures, she is trying to rule the roost.

I hope you find a puppy that will make a good match for you and your lifestyle.
