Here's a guide to 'quieter' dog types. Smaller dogs seem to bark more so than larger dogs, as a general rule.
Quiet Dog Breeds Barking Dogs Barkless Dogs, Non Barking Dogs
Of course, rescued is the best kind of breed to get! Our new little guy didn't bark at all the first few weeks . . . yeah, he got over that. Both dogs will bark and/or yip at dogs walking by when they are inside or at the UPS guy or something. Penny (the white one) doesn't bark at much else. On walks the only thing she'll bark/growl at is another dog that she doesn't like. Dio? Whole 'nuther ball of wax. He seems to bark at lots of things. Trucks driving by . . he actually pulls/lunges at them; other dogs barking, kids riding by on bikes, other dogs. I'm pretty sure that except for the barking at other dogs the rest of it is out of uncertainty/fear. It's ridiculous though so we're going to try training him with a distraction/cause/effect method. Yup, the old squirt with a water bottle at un-necessary/unwanted barking.
Do some research and when you're ready check out the local shelter for a month or two.
I absolutely always do rescue dogs. I would prefer a 5-8 year-old dog, since they are already trained. I would likely only get one, since we found that two would egg each other on in the noise department. One could be catatonic, and the other would start yipping like Dino, from the Flintstones. The sleeping one would start barking, and she wouldn't even know why. It was just time to join the chorus.
I'll likely go through Petfinder.com.
Whenever I move, I hope to have a dog again. HOWEVER: I work at home, in a remote call center. This means I can't have a noisy yapper sounding off at any given moment when I get my own place.
Where I am now has three cats, and I can see being a cat person again, but I <3 dogs. Any recommends for reasonably quiet breeds that don't need a literal shit-ton of exercise? (Not that I couldn't use it myself.)
What a cutie! Thanks for the share. What breed is he?

All you need to do is buy a tri-tronics bark collar and read the instructions. Get any dog you want.
Why would you not?
Although I really like Shar Peis, I do know a couple things on them on why I've never had one.I have a Chinese Sharpei who rarely barks, and when she does it's a low-pitched, quiet bark. Shar Pei's also don't require a lot of exercise, but that doesn't mean no exercise!
Other than that, I don't really recommend the breed. Mine is a rescue, rescued her off the streets, I would never get this particular breed on purpose.

I am informed that this breed, the Basenji, never barks.
Cute, isn't it?

1. Dog/Cat aggressive.
2. One person dog, not a family dog
3. Skin problems unless you got them from China.
Otherwise, I'm right with you, plus their fur is darn near hypo-allergenic and do not shed much if at all and very loving towards the one person they latch on to.

My Sharpei is not at all aggressive to my other pets. I brought her in off the street into a household with five cats and she has never bothered any of the cats. Oddly enough, they really seem to like her, although she is very aloof around them. But she never bothers them, even when they come up and start rubbing all over her. : ) When I first got her she did bite one of my Dobies, but I have to admit that the Dobie started it. Ahem.
I have read that they can have problems with other pets, though, unless raised from puppyhood with them. Obviously there are exceptions.
