Hmmm....kind of an open question, lacking in information. A lot of details should be considered....what sort of activity level are you looking for? How much experience do you have with dogs....are you up for a more strong willed assertive dog, or do you need something that will bend over backwards to try to please you? How much time do you have available to spend with the dog each day? Now, for myself, just with your criteria....I love the swissies. A friend of mine breeds and shows them, and they are cool dogs. High energy, yet very trainable, not to mention big and gorgeous. But that's JMHO.

Go to a shelter - half the dogs there fit that description! I'd suggest a small pittie-mix.
I have to wonder, why purebred? There are so many great dogs dying in the shelters, millions a year, that need a home. Purebred animals make up 25% of the shelter population. Please adopt.

I've always loved Ibizan and Pharoh Hounds, which are tall and thin. They are border line "large dog."

I have a German Shorthaired Pointer, he's full grown at 70lbs, but I think they can range from about 60 to 80. He's short haired-but why do you want that...they save you money on grooming certainly but they also shed a lot, i think any short haired breeds do, i know labs shed like crazy!!
Anyway, the pointer is a great breed, but they are energetic. Mine likes to go to the dog park to play with other dogs, but he's also satisfied with playing fetch with a ball or disc in the back yard. And I also have a springer so they get lots of energy out playing with each other.
But as another person said, it really depends on your lifestyle as to what type of dog you should get and there's a lot more to consider than just the hair length because there are a lot of short haired breeds out there with different personalities.
Good luck!

If you talking about giant breed dogs, mastiffs, danes or irish wolfhounds make a good choice.

i have worked at kennels and i would say they dogs that are large with gentle personalities are GREAT DANES, Labrador Retrievers %26amp; Boxer also Standard Poodles. all of these dogs are very smart and easy to train. here are some sites for you to check out hope they help you out tells us what you end up choosing. i would also recommend do reasearch then see if you can also find that same dog at a shelter good luck and have fun.

Adopt from a shelter. They can help you more thoroughly and with less bias than we can.

Too many short haired breeds out there for me to recommend one for you with so few details, but just a friendly FYI, short hair does not always mean less shedding. My very first dog looked like some kind of bully mix, and had very short fur, but it got everywhere and worked it's way into fabric like short little needles. The dog I have now is a long haired Akita, and although he has a long double coat of fur I find his hair much easier to deal with as it kind of pills up when you rub it off your clothes or furniture. When I give this boy a hug I don't worry so much that I will come away covered in fur as his hair tends to fall out in tufts, not one hair a a time that floats everywhere. He needs way more grooming the my first girl though, so if that is what is at issue I like...Boxers, Rottweilers, and Dobermans myself, but other people have some great other breeds mentioned as well. You need to know if you want a working breed dog or not, and what kind of breed best suits your life style, so once you narrow down your list a bit, find out a lot about each one and think about the home and time you have to give your dog to help you choose.
Sorry I added the shedding stuff, I just hear from friends some times that they want a short hair dog so the have less hair in the house, or less allergies or whatever, and it doesn't work out like that all the time, so I add it out of habit. I would not want a Husky in Florida either :)

Do you live anywhere near where these low cost and "free" large short haired purebred dogs are in Florida?
Most of the dogs that the others suggested are on here.

Doberman !!! cause....they have short, fur, easy to groom, when trained and socialized, are loyal, love kids, are your constant companion, love and need exercise so they get you healthy too, they are excellent guard dogs but know when the threat is real, they are clowns and are quite comical. They are very intelligent...# 5 on the list of intelligence ! :)
