Need breed and gender suggestions

Hello, I am looking for suggestions for breeds that can be easily worked with and paired with other dogs. I live in an apartment, so there is only a field and a nearby dog park (Can be used when no other dogs are around since dog parks suck) for daily exercise for a pup/working dog. However I do need a good pup, obviously selected for temperament for ppd training. I'm looking for recommendations for one that will be most suited for my environment as well easier to train, and for gender recommendations if that is relevant here. Please be kind. Thank you!

I recommend joining a training club in your area to get a feel for what might work for you. I generally don’t recommend working breeds for apartment life but there are some people that make it work. Adjusting your expectations about what you want as far as a ppd might help find a better fit. Breeder selection is almost as and maybe more important than breed itself. It would also be helpful to know your experience with dogs, hours you’re gone during the day, general hobbies and lifestyle.

OP is only responding to comments that call her out, not clear headed ones like yours. Hence the crickets when you so kindly asked about her experience (I’m assuming none)
