What's the chillest dog breed, in your opinion?
It doesn't have to be a small or large dog, no preference on coat type/color. I just want a dog that matches my personality best.
I would be able to walk it at least once a day, but I mean is there any breed that just likes to chill out and nap on the couch and doesn't get too easily excited or isn't too yappy/loud?

The breed that comes to mind is a pug. I suggest doing some research and see what you think. Don't just narrow it down to one breed check out out Is many as you can and then narrow in down to the one that would best suit you.
I Also suggest visiting the breed in person. This way you will be absolutely sure. You can try going to populated areas where there's lots of dogs.
You could also try looking in pet shelters too see the breed in person. But just keep in mind sometimes the dogs there will be very stressed due to their conditions. So this wouldn't be a true reflection of the breed. This is why I recommend trying to see if you can visit the breed elsewhere.

A retired racing greyhound is the dog for you! They need about 15 minutes of intense activity per day, and then hours of naps and cuddling. They are big(50-80lbs), but don't eat a ton because they don't move a ton, and they have a short, easy to maintain coat (they'll need a jacket in the winter though, if you live in a cold climate). See if you can locate a rescue in your area and try to meet a few greyhounds.
Another option is to go to a shelter and look for an older, less active dog.

I am a little biased, but I suggest rescuing an older Pit Bull. In my experience they are very "chill" dogs. Not much startles them and they are incredibly loyal and affectionate dogs. Mine does well with one long walk a day. She's still in her puppy stage at ten months but she is the most calm dog I have ever known. The only downside to these dogs are their stigma and the fact that they can be very stubborn. They need a strong willed owner to train them so I would discourage you from getting one as a puppy, especially as a first dog.
Great Danes are also nice. I love how they look and they are a very low energy breed. Of course they do eat a lot because of their size, but they are big time lounge lizards. Anyhow I recommend rescuing a dog. Take your time and observe different dogs in a shelter or foster home and you'll be able to find one that matches your personality. Again I recommend a dog that is already potty trained and is an adult (2+ years)

Adult shelter dogs as always good, as the shelter knows,the,dogs,energy level and can match what you want.
Retired Greyhounds are known for being couch potatoes.
PitBulls, while awesome dogs, are not low energy, at least mine aren't, nor are most others I have met. I have one that is 9 and has more energy than most dogs 1/2 her age. She can run circles around my younger dogs. They can snuggle on the couch for a while, but they LOVE to vet out and run and play and just have fun.

A retired racing greyhound .... they take retirement VERY seriously! They are called 45 mph couch potatoes for good reason.

They sleep more than cats & love to just chill out and enjoy the company of their owners.
