male or female sibe

Question
I have been researching the Siberian Husky breed (including breeders) for almost two years.  I want to be positive I can handle a Siberian Husky before making the commitment in getting one.  I work at a dog boarding and day care facility and come across a lot of Siberians a lot of whom i love.  My question is whether or not to get a female husky or a male husky.  

At my work, we have two female huskies that are very mellow, obedient and just great over all, although they are the dominate ones in day camp.  My cousin also has a female siberian who is not "crazy."  The males that come into my work seem to always be a lot crazier.  One male who is fixed, comes in every day for day care and is a little terror.  He bites us, plays way too rough with the other large dogs, does NOT listen, barks and cries in his room, and tries to escape out of his room when we try to take him out, feed him, give him water or clean his room.  He is horrible on a leash and jumps on you and just DOES NOT LISTEN!  Another full grown male Siberian barks all day when he is boarded, however we have friends that have a male husky and is well behaved and not too crazy.  Also, there was one male siberian husky that came in that was crate trained and pretty well behaved while staying with us.  I am so confused as to which sex to get.  The breeder said females are more dominate and males can be more affectionate.  is that true?  In your opinion and from what you know about the breed, are males or females easier?  I just want a loving, affectionate and obedient husky.  Which one is "the lesser of two evils?"  I figure the super crazy male sibe has a lot to do with his owner who lets him bite him.  (he calls it "play biting")  sorry the question is so long but I don't know which one to get!  thanks!

Answer
Common question Michelle, and ultimately, it's generally a combination of the dog and and the owner.  Generally, females are more aloof, more reserved than their male counterparts.  Of course . . .  aloof for a Sibe is a little different than aloof for, let's say, a German Shepherd.  Females often are little bossier and more obstinate in training.

Males are usually a little friendlier (not to say that females don't love everyone they meet either - we are comparing on extremes here), more active and rambunctious.  They often like to play harder, are more likely to try to escape enclosures and explore.  I've also noticed that males are often more talkative than females.  

Ultimately though, a lot of it is training and working with the dog.  My general recommendation, and the one that I followed when getting my dogs, was that a dog of the opposite sex of the owner will often bond a little easier.  So, being male, I got a female husky, and my wife, her dog is the male.  Otherwise, training, training, training - that's a lot more important than the sex.  And plus, if you get one, there's a good chance of getting a second, and in that case, you usually want to get an opposite sex companion.  :)

Hope that helps some, let me know if you need anything else.
