Best breed of dog for first time owner

[puppyplans]

I'm finally going to be in a position to have a dog next year! I haven't had a dog before so concerned that a rescue would be too much.
I also have cats so no terriers or sighthounds.
I was thinking of a small poodle - are they a good first dog or would you recommend a different breed?

Miniature poodle.

Some sort of poodle is good
Poodle
Cockapoo
Cavapoo
Coton de Tulear mixed with a poodle my sister has one, she is lovely. ( cotonpoo )

I'm a huge of poodle... I think a toy / mini would meet your spec. . Picture of my little chap to encourage you

Many of the crosses come from puppy farms. With a poodle cross, you have no idea what you are getting. Many of the crosses, especially cockapoos, are mental.
