I don't know any off the top of my head, but if you don't want it to shed much, do NOT get a lab. Ours sheds like crazy. So do pugs.

The important thing to look for is that is doesn't have an undercoat, or at least not a dense one.

Whippets are a good choice, but they aren't good around young children, because they're breakable, especially as puppies.

Basset hounds are also good, but you're suppose to clean their ears and wrinkles every so often, to prevent infections.  

Answer 4

border collies also smart and never shed

Answer 5

My mother has a basset hound. I don't think it sheds that much. It's a medium sized dog, but sometimes they can be territorial and have back troubles when they get older.

The only one I can think of is a Bic hon Frieze' They are Small to medium in size and do not shed. However if one could get a mixed breed of one this may be beneficial to the size you need. I hope this helps..
