Have a look at Underdog International. That's where we got our dog from. We just told them what we needed from a dog (happy living in a small house in a city, good with kids, good with cats etc) and they matched us with Crumpet. With a rescue you get more of an idea of their personality than you do with a breeder.

I'm still working on the campaign to expand our family (kids are 4 and 7) to include a dog.
We dog-sat a friend's rescue greyhound over the summer which was insightful, mainly in that it clarified that we don't want a rescue greyhound. She was adorable in some ways, and my daughter fell hopelessly in love, but it was a bit of spanner in the works of convincing my wife. Sweet as Edith the rescue hound was, she was super nervous, and kinda unrewarding in that... no playing, no snuggling, no time off the lead. She mostly just sulked or slept, and needed to go out for about 6 huge wet shits a day.
Made me want to look at some smaller and more confident/playful doggos. Sorry Edith.
