My experience is I typically prefer male dogs, but no dog anywhere held a grudge worse than my male Border Collie and he was sensitive too.That's another thing. Male or female? This last Aussie I had was one of my top three dogs I've owned... but I don't like female dogs. They get hurt feelings and they will hold a grudge. Males can take physical discipline or harsh language and be fine twenty seconds later. Males are more forgiving and will work harder... and at the end of the day they will calm down and take a nap at your feet.
Our female Heeler is somewhat sensitive but tough as nails and doesn't hold a grudge. It's just an individual thing I think.
