I've had much experience with males and females I've owned several of both over the years. I have both now too.

I've not found females more easy to train. Males have been more willing to please.

Females have been more easily housebroken. (I think obedience type things when one says train.)

My females have not been more passive. In fact they're more likely to be bossy and pushy than the males.

Both sexes can hold their urine about the same. It's an individual dog thing, not sex related from my experience.

And yes, females usually empty their bladders at one time, but I have also had a female here and there that likes to mark too.

I have not found the males to be better watch dogs. I've found that to be pretty equal.

I've also not found males to be more domiant. I've found the females to be more dominat and usualy it's been a female that's been the true alpha in the pack.

Both are about equal in self confidence too.
