Looking for a new "best friend"

Well we lost our faithful friend Harvey last week, he was a cute little fella wasn't he?!
We've always had Yorkies but I'm now considering other small/medium sized breeds that do not shed.
A friend of mine has a Border Terrier which I really like but it does shed a little and I think I might be slightly allergic unfortunately, has anyone got any suggestions? Nothing too camp please... ; )

Adam - so sorry to hear about Harvey , its such a sad event to loose your pal. We recently lost Janni , our russian blue and have been fortunate in finding Anoushka from the RB welfare group - she is the 5th russian blue we have re-homed since we have been married. Do hope you find a new pal soon - whatever the breed .

Very sorry to hear about your loss. We have two dogs; a Munsterlander and a Greyhound. I was recommending any breed I would say Greyhound. They don’t shed, are very loving and do not need much in the way of exercise, juts two short walks a day. We got ours from Lincolnshire Greyhound Rescue as a 6 year old former racer. Size wise, the dogs can be very large but bitches can be quite compact. Lovely dogs.

I realise you said not too camp, but a labradoodle is much manlier than it sounds. They don't shed, and if you can get one which displays more labrador characteristics then they do look like dogs. Although if you get one which is part toy poodle then they just look like mops.
This is a labrador poodle cross...
