Which Dog is Small and Doesn't Shed A Lot?

We are currently looking to buy a dog for the first time. We want a dog that is small (less than 20 pounds) and one that does not shed a lot. It would be good if it didn't bark all the time, but its to be expected for the dog to bark. Are there any dogs that would fit a description close to this one? Thanks!

    They really don't shed much, even if they get fat they stay short all of their life, and they do howl but they are soooo sweet :) :)

    Very good family dogs and they are food hounds, but such amazing dogs :)

    I have a miniature schnauzer. They rarely shed, we got her for that reason.

    She use to bark a lot but we trained her not to.
