If you or your partner is home during the day, you should get a keeshond. They are the most loving, loyal, sweetest dogs. I had one growing up and she was just a doll. They are one-owner dogs, and they can get really bad anxiety if left alone all day, and pretty much need someone to be home all day. They're about 30 lbs for females. They do require some exercise, as they can get a little fat (Smokey was a little chubchub but not overweight) if not walked every day.

Or there's always Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, who are basically lap dogs and bred to just be with you. I wanted one of those but my husband wanted a bigger dog so we got Bandit and couldn't be happier.
