I dont mind adopting from a shelter but I do prefer a female but will accept a male.

you dont state whether you want an inside our an outside
for inside i would go for a minature schnauzer.. they are friendly and mind well plus they dont shed..
for outside a jack russell is great!

How about a Basenji (they are at your upper size limit 18 to 20 for a female and 20 to 24 for a male), but they are great dogs.
1. Low maintance, they clean themselves
2. Good for apartments, they don't bark
3. Crate train well
4. Like people, a little standoffish from other dogs
5. A little stuborn (OK a lot stuborn)but lovable.
Just my opinion, and I will admit to being biased. I've had a Basenji for 9 and a half years now. (in an apartment the entire time)
Here's a website that might help. Even if you don't want a purebred, many of the questions and tips are good for general dog ownership.

Dachsunds are awesome dogs- small, not too girly, very affectionate with other dogs and kids and whatnot. I think you may also enjoy a pug, because they are very sweet and affectionate and they are so cute and roly-poly. Personally, I have an English bulldog that I love like other people love their children, but you wouldn't like having a bulldog because he weighs about 60 lbs. Pugs are the next best thing, in my opinion...

How about Pomeranian, Maltese, Yorkshire terrier, silky terrier, Chihuahua?
I have a silky terrier. He is a typical terrier but he's my baby! Very adorable too!
Check out www.dogbreedinfo.com. I believe there is a quiz on there that you can type in certain requirements and see a list. Or you can just type in any breed and it will give you a lot of information.
Good luck in finding your new fur baby!

I suggest trying www.petfinder.org. This site is great to search your own local shelters for the right dog for you. Plus there are great pictures and usually links to the shelter sites as well. Good Luck!!!! :)

Get a Minature Schnauzer, they are the greatest little dogs.
