DH and I are planning on getting a puppy very soon. However, we are having difficulty agreeing on a breed. We know we want a purebreed from a breeder. We need something that can be happy in our apartment. What we agree on so far is it needs to be short-haired, intelligent, and medium to small. I'd love to hear any suggestions!
ETA: DH also made it clear that he does not want to be embarrassed walking it, so I guess it needs to be a 'manly' dog!

I'd say a Jack Russel terrier.

Re: dog breeds
We looked into Jack Russells, and my only concern is the amount of energy they have. I was told that they are VERY hyper. I'm not sure that that would be good in an apartment. We both like them though.

Re: dog breeds
Terriers are great. Definitely intelligent and playful. They can be a 'handful' in that they're stubborn and don't always listen, but well-trained ones are WONDERFUL companions.

Re: dog breeds
Min pin? How are they in an apartmment? What about when we have children one day?
I'm not crazy about pugs (just my opinion) and DH won't walk a maltese. Thank you for the suggestions, though!
Keep them coming. . .

Our mini is great in our condo...We have no problems at all with him and he is a VERY quick learner. He was bathroom trained within 2 weeks
He is great with kids and VERY MASCULINE to walk..People always come up to us
