England Project seeks dog

So, the England Project family are currently considering taking on the services of a dog. The main requirement is that the dog should be suitable for suburban family living without being too poncy. My current favourite, though Mrs. England Project is unaware, is the Canaan Dog:

…a recently domesticated breed derived from a specific type of pariah dog that inhabits remote locations of what is now the land of Israel. These tough desert born survivors are resilient, intelligent and independent dogs. This is not a man-made breed, but that of one evolved for thousands of years by the harsh environment of this region.

And, apparently, good with children, requiring moderate exercise and not too fussed about being left alone for an hour or so on occasion.

Any other non-poncy suggestions gratefully received. And nothing with curly or wavy hair or a requirement for extreme sports.
