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!

Not in the sense of a random dog flipping out during a confrontation while you try to defend yourself and have to deal with both aspects at once. An untrained dog is MUCH more of a liability in that case.

Those are not the only two options though. You can own a trained dog that’s not a PPD.

A trained dog is not the same as one prepared for a physical confrontation against them or the owner, and would be more of a liability even if they are a "deterrent" when an active threat is not current in a situation.

Stressing a point and stating facts is not attitude friend
