My man loves dogs but he's not as familiar with breeds, care, behavior, etcetera as I am. He grew up with dogs, unlike me, but his family's definition of "walking the dog" was, and still is, "letting the dog out in the backyard to poop." LOL.
He loves terriers, JRTs and such, which he grew up with, but there is no way in hell I could live with anything but the chillest/quietest one. They're adorable, but not the right breed for me. He also likes huskies and shepherds. I'm in agreement with him about shepherds especially, but I know (and he knows) that they would require more time in training and exercise than he's willing to expend.
He's so-so on Gypsy, persona and look. And he's not a big fan of sighthounds, which I LOVELOVE, but can handle the longhaired ones much better. I'm glad 'cause we will have a windhound eventually.
For him, we'll need a lower key, chill terrier or shepherd like dog. If one exists.
