May I recommend A mid-sized cockapoo. These are the platonic ideal for dog, size-wise. Not so small that you need to worry about stepping on them, not so large that you need to fear shoulder dislocation when you walk them. A mid-sized cockapoo is a happy dog, with a waggedy tail and a forceful, burglar-deterring bark.
Thank you for reminding me of our old dog, who - despite having a stiff back, being a little bit overweight and in general not built for athletics - thought she was the Goddess of All Hunters whenever she saw a squirrel. Seems she might not be the only one!
Sounds like you've also just described the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, right down to the spring-loaded limbs! No concerns about a dirty muzzle, but it's amazing how many red hair bunnies appear daily. (Especially when you are living with two human redheads too!)
