Small dog, is there any? Options

[Jennifer]

I couldn't exactly find a sub forum for this, seeing as there isn't a "Animals" section, so I'll post it here

I'm after a small dog, most likely from an animal shelter, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any breeds that possibly:
- Don't shed too much fur
- Won't be barking every second of the day
- Is preferably more of an inside dog rather than one who needs to spend all their time outdoors.

I ask because I live in an average size unit, with not an extremely large backyard. Large enough for a small dog, but not one with a fetish to run all day every day.

Hmm, have you tried searching Google for "lap dogs?" Pugs are a good example of such. They're reportedly affectionate, don't shed too much (I don't think, they're short-haired), and I'm not sure about their barking habits. American Bulldogs are good and lively, too.
