Cavalier King Charles spaniels are great, but be prepared--they are pretty expensive! Personally I'd go with something else...I tend to favor mixed breeds over purebred dogs. I had a "Maltepoo" (however you spell it) once, which is a Maltese crossed with a poodle, duh, and she was wonderful! I've also had a Lhasa, which I liked...we just kept her coat trimmed so we didn't have to groom her as often. Right now I have a Westie and I love her to death, but she's very very hyper so I don't think that's what you want.
My only advice for dogs to stay away from is pugs...I have one and she's a very sweet dog, but if you can't stand loud breathing/snoring, they're not for you. They also cannot be out in the heat for very long because they get heat stroke, plus they have a range of sinus problems because they have practically no nose.
If I were you, I'd go to the Humane Society and pick out a small dog.
