some breeds that sprung to mind
whippets (particularly the long haired)
silkens
and lurchers
irish water spaneil, less grooming needs than the poodle and porti.
toller
Xolo...the xolo come in 3 sizes and a standard is about the size of a dobie, and they do come in a coated veriety. they are sighthoundish in personality, tend to be good with other dogs in the family, (watch for problems with strange "in your face" type dogs, they tend to dislike dogs who dont respect boundries when there not used to them)
they run like the wind, tend to be independant ect
