All dogs shiver no matter what the coat length is.....their way of keeping warm on cold wet days.
I have owned & trained both male and female. Had good and bad with both sexes as some where harder to train than others.
But lately I prefer a female and a spayed one at that. I am not a breeder but just a hunter.
Males have a tendency to mark their territory more. I have found females a bit harder to train than males.
But that is just me and my opinion.
