What dog should I get?

Recently my family and I have been on researching dogs to get as we feel like our family is 'incomplete.' My mother although only wants a small dog that preferable doesn't shed hair and can handle hotter more tropical temperatures. 
 
I have said that I would have liked a medium sized dog preferable a shiba inu as they make funny, cute and social pets. 
 
Although she tells me the dog breed is too high in height. We had beforehand a Bichon Frise and she was quite a quiet dog with a happy attitude. I was hoping for something more bubbly and active that was in the budget of $200-$1200. I also was looking for distinct beautiful markings & facial looks. 
 
No one is allergic to anything in our home but we have 2 cats that get along with dogs really well. Although myself wanting a shiba inu won't do me good as there is no breeders with puppies in australia at the moment. I was just trying to get a helping hand with which way to go on getting a dog.

OK, so we're kinda stuck on size, we need a hot-weather dog, a low shedder and one that's happy but not crazy. OK, how about a lakeland terrier? Small dog, big dog attitude, lots of fun, energetic and very affectionate. Or try for an airedale, no shed and "hey mom, it's a terrier, how big can it be?" *lol* You LIVE in Australia, get an Australian cattle dog or shepherd. They're not that big. No idea on the shedding though. A whippet would be PERFECT but if you can't find a Shiba, you will never find a whippet.

You already have your mom so that's enough.
