Staffordshire Bull Terrier has very high energy levels and would not be suited to a person that does not have the time to devote to the dog regarding exercise. If the dog does not get enough exercise it will get mischievous.

Cardigan Welsh Corgi is considered to be easy to house train and is also classed as a low shedding small dog breed. It will shed some fur, but it will be minimal.

Swedish Vallhund is another breed that has incredibly high exercise demands, it will require at least 2 good walks each day to stay happy and content.

Miniature Bull Terrier is good with children and is known to make a pretty good little watchdog. This dog is not good around other small pets like cats and birds.

English Cocker Spaniel is another breed in this size category that has high energy levels. This breed will be reserved around strangers unless well socialised.

Miniature Poodle is a really good family dog, they do not shed any fur at all, they are easy to train and are good around children, what more do you want?
