How funny!  I'll put in a plug for the breed that supposedly is the 
"ancestor" of many of the oriental breeds such as Schi Tzu, Pekinese, 
Lhasa Apso: the Tibetan Spaniel.  I had several for years.  They are not 
barn dogs but are great companions and have not been breed for extreme 
anything.  Their coat is quite manageable without even much grooming 
(mine never got any); their nose is a normal length so they don't have 
breathing problems and they have no genetic health problems.  I suspect 
the reason they are not more popular is that they aren't a flashy or 
exotic looking dog.  Hmmm.  Maybe I'll look into getting another.
