Default Male and Female dogs...Question

hi.

I was wondering if its true that male and female dogs always get on well and
don't fight?

Im taking my dog for a dog meet at the local RSPCA shelter. He is a collie
and seemed laid back enough, even though when we met him all the dogs were
barking at him and he seemed not too bothered. He barked back at some of
them but he seemed unbothered.

Thing is we used to have another female dog and she and my current dog (also
female) got into several big fights. We had to put the other dog down (due
to illness) but i have just started a new job and my dog is stressed and my
vet suggested I get another dog to keep her company. He didnt seem to think
aggression was a big issue with a male dog (also the other female who was
sick always started the fights.. never my current dog). Im just really
worried. the staff at the RSPCA didnt know much about his history coz he had
just been brought in from the pound. They did say he passed 3
behaviourists's tests for agression. But they said to bring in my dog to see
what will happen.

So my question is this: Do female and male dogs eget along or do they get
into fights too? What should I expect whenI bring him home? Any advice?
