Dog suggestions

[CanKid]

I'm considering getting a dog, I'm not concerned about traveling and leaving it behind cause I have alot of local family/girlfriend who have their own place. I say that off the bat because everytime I bring the idea of getting one to a friend they tell me I'll never beable to travel, anyhoo.

Things I am looking for:
- Small-medium sized
- Can handle indoors for long periods of time and not get too stir crazy, I'd walk it daily
- Doesn't shed
- Not too rare/wierd so I can actually find one
- I don't know much about how much price changes from breed to breed, but I would probably be up for anything < 1k$ CA. I'd prefer 250~500 range though.
- Some level of personality (I think only dog lovers can know what I mean here)
- Isn't abnormally loud and/or can be disciplined fairly well
- Not too girly looking


Thanks in advance.
