Male or female?

Of course socialization is my first aim. I live in a small town in Italy (in Tuscany), but luckily I have a lot of friends who just can't wait 'till I have this little teethy thing to play with, and I even have a school for small children at 100 meters from home, so I'll be able to take her in front of it and get used to the noise and maybe some mom will be nice enough to allow at least the puppy to be caressed by some Kid (but I won't be asking it). I have some young cousins I can use to train her and I think that even my neighbour's daughters (14 and 1

shall be glad to play with her to ensure her the maximum of exsposure to different people. This besides to a puppy class and going to the city with me. I even have some friends with dogs big enough to play with her, and some Vlcak which live near enough. I'm already planning everything to ensure her good growing, even reading books over books to try to have an idea

. And I am trying to see them as often as it's possible, even if it is not as often as I wish.

I still think it depends on the character of the dog too.
For example, I knew a female, Hayla, who licked my face as soon as we met, very sweetly, and she was very sweet with her owner. But I saw her teeth when poor Oxy approached her (a very big male... he got growled even from one of the puppies

).

I've even seen a Vlcak who is always growling (when eating, when sleeping, when cuddling... always

) but in her manner she is sweet too, and I have a very sweet photo of her with her owner where the owner is kissing her nose and she is simply relishing it with her eyes half closed, and a very relaxed expression.

I am no expert though, as I said, I am a newbie and I only fell in love with the Vlcak because of a photography on the net, to be then taken hostage of their eyes when I saw them the first time.
