My boys are equally bonded with their grandpa as they are me. Max loves my brothers too, and tends to gravitate toward men.
There are so many things, including calmness, that really come down to the individual dog. There are no rules that one gender is more calm than the other.
A good breeder will chooses their breeding stock to produce good temperaments.

Thanks Maximo! If I get a boy I would only use the belly band when carrying him around as we run errands.
And in the case that I were to visit another person's home. I'm still trying to understand, is a diaper and the belly band both used? As in, does the diaper itself not work to cover the pee of a male?
(Sorry, I know this may have an obvious answer that I'm missing).
Thank you especially for sharing the bonding experience. I started reading online (somewhere randomly yesterday) about how the attachments to the opposite sex is routine. I live at home but my bff is a male who visits often and he loves Yorkies (and "jokes") that if I get one who loves him more it is only fair to give the Yorkie the home it wants. I will be the sole "master" but he has offered to help me with training so I might be fearing something silly.
