I have 2 of each. I have always wanted only female dogs. I hate the humping and marking. So we were lucky to get Gypsy. Then when dh went to look at a male pup, he fell in love with the female chi. When we decided one more dog, we fell in love with Seymour cause we both are partial to black dogs. He was neutered as soon as possible so no marking and no humping. Then we chanced upon our latest on craigs list, a male who was not fixed and was 15 months old. Lifts his leg all the time. Hubby hates that. He is now fixed but since he was that age, he still does it.
He has convinced dh only girl dogs from now on.

As for them getting along. Gypsy rules the roost, we call her the umpire. The boys get along great, always playing. Puff our smallest is happiest staying out of everyone's way and being in the sunshine. None are really aggressive.
I truly believe each dog is unique.
