I suspect you'd end up fine with any easy-going mid-size breed, but I'll plug the golden retriever (assuming you're pretty active). Such a silly, joyful breed! The males are probably larger than you'd like, but the females are plausibly mid-sized: mine's 45lbs.

+1 for golden or lab. Also +1 to a Schnauzer (I had same reqs). You can get a regular sized one (Hayek is mini)

Yes, Goldens are just fantastic. I’ve been lucky enough to have two of them in my life and they are wonderful with kids and a joy to be around. Only downside is you’ll need to vacuum regularly unless you like golden hair tumbleweeds:)

The robo-vacuum was an essential early purchase!!
