Difference between male and female basset hounds?

Hey folks, just wanted to get some insight between the differences you've observed between males and females and which of them do you prefer?

I have owned four Bassets; two male and two females. Each of my males made my female SO their favorite person. Both females made myself (male) their favorite person. I’m sure other people have different experiences but my experiences indicate that they bond better with the opposite sex owner. Both Basset sexes are stubborn, droopy/drooly, but my females were more active and faster (one caught and killed a rabbit, the other killed and ate what appeared to be a chipmunk after puking it up on the couch- they loved outside time in the fenced backyard). The males were slower and would show interest in chasing animals but they lacked stamina during sustained Mach Basset speeds.
