I honestly think that they might just be best served with a rescued pup from someplace like Best Friends in Utah--they usually have an assortment of pups that were turned over from the Native American reservations in the Southwestern states. These dogs generally tend to be hardy, fairly easy-going and well-acclimated to the desert climate, tend to be medium-sized with short, tight coats that have little, if any, undercoat.

Cavaliers do have serious genetic cardiac issues that can shorten the lives of the dogs quite significantly, so bear that in mind.

Brittany spaniels are usually sweet-tempered, but they also tend to be very busy dogs, with a high level of exercise needed to truly keep them content.

Australian Cattle Dogs are hardy, fun and intelligent dogs that acclimate to desert living well, but they're also a tough breed, and not for the marshmallow owner. A spoiled ACD can be not only a nightmare, but inappropriately aggressive as well; they need a firm hand and clear direction from their people.

The National Dog Show, hosted by the Kennel Club of Philadephia, holds a large benched dog show outside of Philadelphia, PA next month, where your friends could see specimens of nearly every AKC breed, and get to interact with them, since the dogs are required to be in their 'bench area' unless they're in the ring or being exercised...it's also a great place to shop for dog-related stuff and get samples of products.

I know quite a few people with brittany's and they are not clam, quite or mild mannered. They are small hunting dogs with high drive, a loud piercing bark and a lot of go, go, go! I have met two meek ones, but they are not typical for the breed.
What about a pug or japanese chin?

I mentioned beagle before because it was mentioned that the perspective owner once has a basset. The biggest drawbacks to bassets are they stink. Beagles don't stink much at all.

Maybe a whippet? No hair to speak of, suite and clean, super sweet, not yappy and really trainable for a sight hound.

As for the Cavies, really hard to get one that's not yappy and while they are cuddliers. They can also be a pain in the ass with the degree of wimpyness.
