Very unlikely if you get him nuetered by 6 months old. Some male altered dogs still "hump" things, but it's more a dominance thing, he won't have an actual mating drive. Plus, your female is already spayed so she won't go into heat. 99% of the time if an intact male mounts a female for the actual purpose of trying to mate, it's because the female is in heat. There are also (as someone else mentioned) some female dogs that will hump another dog in an attempt to show dominance.
We have 3 female dogs and the only "issue" they've ever had involved food. I honestly don't think it matters the sex of the dogs as long as they're both spayed/neutered, especially if it's done before they reach sexual maturity.
I'd focus more on choosing the dog out of the litter of whatever reputable breeder you find that you and your dog "bond" with
, don't worry about whether it's male or female, that really doesn't matter if it's getting "fixed". It's all about individual personality. With all the hundreds, maybe even thousands of dogs I've worked around, I honestly don't see any specific personality traits that are gender based if the dog is altered. Funny thing about me having all 3 female dogs, I didn't choose any of them based on the fact that they were female, it was just a coincidence that the "personalities" I chose happened to be female.
