I wanted a girl also, because of the Marking indoors thing also.
But when I found a breeder she only had 2 males left, and I was tired of waiting and looking.
SO I took the male home. He was neutered at 6 months , Only marked inside twice at other people houses who had dogs, after being neutered has never done it again. He does mark EVERYTHING outside, but that's fine with me.
He is very independent,and comes when HE wants, and cuddles when he wants, but is always at my side whenever I move anywhere,and sleeps right against me, and cuddles on my lap everynight when we watch tv. Comes to work with me everyday,and is great with strangers, and kids. NOt big on other dogs coming in his territory or his sidewalk, or street..ha.
Wouldn't change a thing, and I'm glad I got HIM no regrets.
Good luck in your search.
And truthfully, they are all have minds of their own. And will all be different.
HE has more personality than some people I know. And cracks me up on a daily basis.
