[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no one breed that is all of that.  Not sure which (if any) of the attributes are qualities that you can live with and which are absolute deal breakers for you.

It would be helpful if you could list your top 10 attributes from most important to least important.  [/quote]

OP here. Dealbreakers: neurotic, hyper, destructive, noisy, aggressive (to dogs or people).

Basically need a calm dog that, as an adult, can handle being alone for 6-8 hour stretches, will mostly lie down quietly while indoors, and will not snarl, lunge at or bite other dogs or people. Prefered size 20-45 pounds.[/quote]

The thing is, these can be individual characteristics, not breed characteristics, so it's hard to know.  If you adopt an adult dog, you will have a better idea.

I have a shih tzu that meets all these critera.  We adopted him as an adult, though, so it's hard to know how much is his individual personality -- I wouldn't have considered one before we met him.[/quote]
