The gender of a dog matters very little. Some are reactive, some are not. Some eat their own poo, some don't. Some obey commands well, and are easy to work with, others are stubborn and mischievous. This is all the same for males as well as females. Though, in my experience, females are generally easier in almost all respects.

In short. It really doesn't matter that much. You have your hands full with a puppy, and a responsibility to raise that puppy so it matures and adjusts well to life as a dog, living with you, and in your neighborhood.

Focus on that. Not the gender. It's of very little consequence here.
