[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]

From your first list I'd stay away from hounds, schnauzers, pit/mixes -terriers [except westies or wheatens], coats that require groomers [unless you have a poodle natural that gets an occasional clip].  I assume you mean the big outdoor trash can since even my perfect behavior dogs did open the lid of a step on and surf the contents.  We once had a herding breed that only liked certain other dogs but she just ignored others.  Sheltie [hair easy to brush yourself], corgi.  From the right lines/breeders those are aussie/border collie lites.  We passed on one because we didn't like mom.  Go to breeders and meet the mom and their other dogs.  [/quote]
