Toy breeds typically (though not always) are one person dogs so you may want to shy away from that group just to be on the safe side. There are, of course, exceptions to every rule when it comes to dogs but I wouldn't count on getting "lucky."

Here are links to breeds I have found which meet the requirements you mentioned:
Boston Terrier
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. My cousin has one of these and she is like Velcro to other dogs lol. They also have two young kids and cats.
Dachshund
Miniature Pinscher
Pug
Schipperke
I am not generally fond of this site as they have the "designer breeds" listed as well but the information they have on purebreds is pretty good. Feel free to ask for more help if you need it. I would have recommended the Pembroke Welsh Corgi right off but they are 25-30 pounds (but they're short! They're just big boned lol). Of course I'm biased too ;) Oh and there are a couple more breeds, one of which is over your weight requirement (they are similar to Corgis, just less vocal) and the other does but they are fairly rare at the moment so kinda hard to get.
