I've owned English setters for the last thirty years. I've had male and female dogs over that time. There are plusses and minuses for each. For my purposes, I have come to prefer females.
In the field it is pretty even, males are stronger, females smarter, imo.
In the yard, females burn spots in the lawn. Males mark your air conditioner unit, if they can gain access. They will mark something, mine ruined an air conditioner before its time.
In the house, females are more reliably house broke in my experience. Every male I have had could be counted on to leave a drop or three somewhere in the house. If a female has an accident, they were doing their best not to have one. Males just have to be males, they never truly empty their bladder.
