My gut is pulling me towards the male more. He impresses me more every day. I would rather get his littermate sister. Do a father/daughter breeding with her and sit on the male. I think the males have a harder road in dogs and in life. Girls may get a pass to a point. Most likely when you are getting a start. My male may suck. Turn to be a rank cur then I have a yard full of his kids. The female may be the same. If she can pass on the genes in her past and successfully raise a littler of pups I'm happier.
Time & money can besaved buying the brood bitch. Puppies are the biggest gamble feeding, housing, care of those pups until maturity. Is a waste if the desired results are not achieved, definitely if purchased from less than savvy individuals. Don’t gamble on what could be my friend go with what’s been proven.

Good luck 👍🏿
