I strongly encourage you to check the rescue shelters in your area and consider adopting a “mutt”. My d interned at a vet’s office, and you’d be surprised how often pure breeds come with inherent health problems. She also volunteered at the local humane society, and that’s where we found our black lab mix. She’s sweet, short haired- so very little shedding, and after living in the shelter for the first 11 months of her life she was so grateful for a home she follows us around wagging happily much of the time! No problem with her and our cats, either - once they got their bluff in.
A great resource is petfinder.com You’ll be able to search for pure bred dogs and mutts alike in your specific area.
It sounds like you are mainly looking for a certain type personality (not barky, friendly) vs a breed, so you really should go visit a shelter and ask alot of questions to find your perfect match.
Good luck to you.
