A couple i can think of to start your research on Bichon Frise, West Highland White Terrier, Shitzu, Maltese.........all little dogs, of varying nature and requirements. All kinda cute, if you like the little ones. From my understanding the Bichon Frise can be quite a wonderful adaptable dog, and may be appropriate as a first dog, nature and temprament wise.
Given that I am not certain on your grooming or exercise prefrences etc, i disregarded that, but it always worth considering when choosing your breed. If you dont have the patience for grooming, or the money to pay for it some of these breeds may not be appropriate. But I only named them as a starting point for you to begin some research.
Regardless of what you choose, I would encourage you to try and avoid the designer dogs, (plenty of info why if you look) and when you have made your decision, go to a really good, established breeder that will be able to provide you with a companion who should be sound, healthy, health checked parents for the best chance of a long term companion and best friend.
Good luck with your search.
