I don't think there is a difference, as far as temperment.
There is a difference in things such as "lifting their leg to pee on everything, even if they don't have to pee" when they are males. (neutered or not)
I've always owned males, just coincidence though. My neighbors have 2 females and they are great dogs too.

If you will be fixing the animal, it doesn't matter. Every animal has it's own temperament. Choose by meeting the animal first. Some girls can be more aggressive and some boys (like mine) can be sweethearts.
If you are NOT fixing the animal, definitely get a boy. Girl issues happen to dogs too. Why bother with the mess?

As far as I can tell, the only drawback to having a male dog is that when they get territorial, they tend to "mark" by peeing on things.(walls, furniture, doors, bed corners, baskets of clean clothes, etc.) Personality seems to go on a dog to dog basis.

I have a male full-size Chihuahua and I feel alot more comfortable walking him around than I would if he were a female. He's definitely loveable and quite friendly considering he's operating without his equipment (he's fixed). Plus, no pink frou-frou clothing for him!

In my opinion boys are more hyper and females are more protective of their owners.

In my experience, males are much more easygoing and friendly.
