I think you need to visit some BCs and see who, what you bond with. Myself, I am a female dog lover allways have been. Every male I had was dump as a stump. Then I went to get my BC a buddy and I wanted a female, but when I met Pete it was love at first sight. He's a super dog and I am very gald I got him.
So, even though I am strict female dog lover, I got a male!! So you need to go see for your self.
Meet as many as you can and hang out with them.
Good luck to you and your husband! Thank him for going to Iraq for us.
