What’s The Right Dog For Me As My Second Dog? Where Are Quizzes For This?

Well, I already have a wonderful furry companion, but she REALLY needs a friend. I love her SO much, she’s SUCH a great dog. I’ve been wanting to get a big dog for a while, but I own an Italian Greyhound so I’m guessing I need to keep a dog around her size to play with her.
I was going to get a puppy, but I don’t want to have to go through that training and waking up multiple hours of the night. It’s definitely like having a baby and I already did that once w/ my little girl and she’s now 2 years old and very well behaved. So I was thinking of adopting a dog that’s no more than 2 years old.
I live in an apartment, near parks and take my dog for at least ONE long walk a day and outside whenever she needs to go. She’s really a couch potato and the sweetest thing who loves everyone.
I’m looking for a dog her size that can play with her.
So I need one that will be ok w/ where I live and how I live and not have TOO much energy, but just enough so that’s it’s playful.
I HATE lots of barking, like a terrier, they drive me NUTS. My dog goes out on the balcony for like 15 minutes and barks and that’s all the barking she does all day.
I’d like a dog that’s easier to train and willing to please.
I also want one that really bonds with me and my boyfriend, but won’t hurt people by being possessive of us.
So what kind of dogs should I look into?
Also, are there any good online quizes for this?
THOROUGH answers REALLY appreciated.

Whats The Best Way To Cat Train A Greyhound?

i have 2 cats and a very big greyhound who was a non chaser whats the best way to train him

Training A Greyhound For Speed And Stamina Whats The Best Way?

Roadworking at a slow easy trot with short bursts at a gallop. My Whippets will go 3 miles, 2 days on 1 day off. I would think a GH would probably need 4 miles. You will need to build up to this, start with a mile depending on the shape he is in. Give him a warm up and cool down, as well as stretch him out before and after. Read your dog to make sure you are not pushing him to hard.
It wouldn’t hurt to do some playing with a lure to see that he is game. IMO they either are or aren’t, and you can’t really train them to want to chase, although most every SH will want to.
I would also suggest taking him to a cardiologist (dog shows sometimes have one for a small fee) and get his heart checked, preferably by someone familiar with SHs.
