The misses and I are considering getting a dog. I grew up with German Sheppards and Labs, so I do know a bit about the species(?). However, the dogs I had growing up needed a good-sized yard to run in, and we don't really have a large yard, and DO NOT have a fence.
What, in your opinion, would be the best mostly indoor dog for us to consider. I won't go the Chihuahua or Dacshund route. Anthing I can put in a mixing bowl when full grown is out also. After that, I'm all ears.....
I'm looking forward to reading your opinions.

had both growing up
Mini yorkies?...yappy things and yes they are energetic...
In all honesty I would go to the pound and get one from there, and get a mutt...they are a much better dog than purebreds....besides no one is really impressed with "papers" anymore....
x25, go to the local shelter and find one.
You can save a life and get a good dog.
Blue Heeler/German Shedder, Basset, Miniture Austrailian
The healer/shep cross is one of the smartest dogs I've ever known.

Pound pup/dog.
I agree, again look for a non-sheding, eaily cleaned dog, you don't want your house smelling like a barn!

At least they rule our house....[;)]
Just go to the pound without anything in particular in mind.
When you see them, one will grab your heart and not let go.
You will not be able to leave without it.
It may take a couple of trips so don't be in a hurry.
When you see 'the one', you will know it.

I really do appreciate all the suggestions you all have given. Will keep you posted on the results.
I really appreciate all the input and suggestions in regards to my dilemma. My family and I wen to the Belleville Humane Society today and spent a lot of tim interacting with the dogs they have there. However, we didn't find a specific pup that we had to take home. We will continue our quest to find the right pup to bring into our family.

you'll find the right one that will make you family complete
were the most loving and loyal either came from the pound, or was
a stray that one of us rescued.
Just follow your heart.
Any Husky.
They're wandering dogs.
Miniature Schnauzer, or a mini yokie (Yorkshire Terrier)
had both growing up
Agree, Miniature Schnauzer. Very smart, easy to train, NO SHEDDING, great watchdog, loves to play and go for walks.
I hear English Bulldogs does well in apartment type of dwelling. Personally I'd like to go with Olde English Bulldogg (has better genes) but they're more active than their inbred cousins.
Be ready to spend a lot of money on medications, awesome dogs but not very healthy.
Heeeeeeree's ROSCOE!!!!
