Fu Dogs / Foo Dogs / Lion Dogs - Both Male?

For Christmas I was given these two beautiful blue gradient Chinese Fu Dogs (resembling the Chinese guardian lion), both holding a ball under one of their paws. One holds a ball under their right, the other under their left. After some reading, I realize that as neither holds a younger Fu Dog under a paw, they are both male. Could this be true? And if so, how should I act accordingly? Would using them as Door Gods or Door Guardians seem ill fit?
