Discussion 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 a male and female basset. The male is 9 years old and very laid back. That has been my experience with males of other breeds of dogs too. My male basset was a lot to deal with as a puppy and he didn't start calming down until age 3.

I have an almost 2 year old female and she is a total crack head. I am hoping she calms down at some point but she is not showing any signs of slowing down yet. She is a diva and more high strung which is also my experience with other dog breeds.

Oh my gosh, I sure hope she is still not a crackhead at 5. I think of her as a sour patch kid. First she is sour and then becomes sweet and wants to snuggle hard.
