Cavalier King Charles (had many years ago) loved it's gentle soft manner. Heart problems and must get from a breeder that test's it's dogs.

Japanese Chin, so rare and hard to fine but just adorable in every way. They are very cat like, clean themselves, are quiet and love to please their owner.

When it comes to a large dog, I think a Lab is hard to beat. It's temperament is very dependable and so good with children. Much like a Shih-Tzu but in a larger package.

Oh I almost forgot Papillon.
