If size wasn't an issue, the Native American Indian Dog would fit your bill perfectly.

Drop the weight and shedding and get yourself an English Golden, loyal is an understatement, sharp as a tack, and does great with kids.

Quoted: Have a household with a wife and two kids (5 and 8) and about a year ago we lost our Pug, crushed the kids. Initially thought we weren't going to get another dog, but you know how that goes... So we're looking for a dog that would have the following traits or most of them...
What are some suggestions? @garn With most of your criteria, I'd suggest an English Bulldog or Italian Greyhound. |

Eh...if you can’t manage to find time to properly exercise a dog, you certainly won’t be finding the time to properly train it, which is a good indication that you don’t need a dog.
More to the point, there’s simply no breed that satisfies all of your requirements. |

My Brittany sheds a bit and he is considered low energy for his breed. He’s awesome and fits most of your criteria.
Btw your criteria makes it sound like you don’t want to deal with any of the downsides of owning a dog, and there are some. The puppy phase is very challenging. Just keep that in mind. |

I have a beagle chiuahia mix, alittle smaller than you are looking for but if you want pure beagle size would fit. Little to no shedding. She is a really chill pup but has her moments. She can be stubborn but listens well for the most part. Just don't let them catch a scent when they arent on a leash! Shes not even 6 months yet.

Up your weight limitations and get an English mastiff. Females females I've had don't drool at all. Great inside dogs. Low energy estate/family protectors!!
  current pup.   Good enough to take on 12hr car rides and vacation in small rented condos despite her size.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Standard Poodle. Zero shedding, smart as hell. Just don’t give them the stupid fufu haircut. Poodles are great dogs. If I didn’t just get a Doberman I’d be looking for a new poodle. Only drawback is their hair maintenance- you have to take care of it, if you don’t they get nasty because they don’t shed. |

Mutts tend to be the healthiest and most intelligent. My last two have been Dane Lab mixes and have averaged 120 lbs. Never needed to go to the vet.

I'm sorry - were you looking for a Tier 1 family dog?
Golden Retriever The shedding is worth it. Not really a deal breaker, IMO. Best family dog we've ever had. Can lay around for days at a time, then you give a little whistle, and go for a 4 mile hike. Tail wagging the whole time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Boxer. Although I don’t own one and never have I can say that the people I know that do have them ,they have been excellent with children and seem very much guardians over them without being overly aggressive. I thing if I ever do stray from the Aussie it would be a Boxer. |

Agree with this. As a breeder, potential buyers fill out a Puppy Questionnaire. If I don't like the answers I don't sell them one of my pups. Reading your post I suspect I'd turn you down as an owner. A puppy is a lifetime commit to the dog's health and that includes mental health. I don't think your dog would be happy. |

No just being realistic as there are obviously huge swings in breed traits on the energy front and we typically have full time work schedules, so obviously choosing an extremely high energy working dog that bare minimum requires a couple of hours of vigorous outdoor activity a day isn't going to be a good fit. That's not saying there won't be time spent with the dog however. Every dog I've owned I've raised as a puppy (3, boxer, lab mix, pug/beagle mix), I'm generally aware of what to expect there!
