Of course, the individual dog's personality always plays the biggest part in these things. But I've seemed to always prefer male dogs, actually. They tend to be more strong-willed, eager to please (which ties into training/working), and tend to show a bit more personality than females.
But again, personality plays a role here. As does upbringing, socialization, and breed to an extent. The most outgoing of a more passive or introverted breed is probably still more timid than the mildest temperament of a more head-strong or dominating breed. Most people only have a basic understanding of dog behavior and psychology (and sometimes it's misunderstood altogether), so it's best to stick with a more forgiving dog where any issues with behavior aren't quite so noticeable or unmanageable.
I've usually had female dogs, but my current dog is male. I love him, but he is ALWAYS next to me if he's awake. I can't even pee in peace without him banging on the door.
Because female dogs don't hump everything
And you can pet their belly without the penis getting it the way LOL

I've preferred female animals in general. I dont want it pissing on things and marking it territory for one thing, which is why I've never had male cats.
W. e it is, i think it's the same reason we call everything like storms, boats, cars a "she".
You know what they say, men love bitches.
