Rescues will get a lot of Shiba Inus since they are a cute popular breed, yet typically require a lot more attention than other breeds, and can become downright dangerous if not trained properly.

Most will likely be over 2 though, and already "troubled" requiring intensive retraining

Of course there's no "automatically bad" or "automatically good" breeds (though the closest to automatically good are labradors IMO)

If you have such a strict height restriction, my advice would be to go to a shelter and look for a friendly young-ish mixed breed, like pom mixed with something, or corgi mixed with something, etc. Staff should be able to tell you if they think a dog is going to be bigger or that, or get one that is fully grown already so you know for sure.

Good luck!
