There are lots of dogs that meet one, two, or maybe even three of your requirements, but some of your requirements are directly conflicting each other.
Good watch dog and doesn't bark a lot do not go together. Really I think you can either expect a dog to shed a lot or you can expect to pay for grooming. The only dog I can think of that would require no grooming/shedding would be a hairless Chinese Crested, but they do not handle the cold very well, and they really don't like being alone.
Also, just because a dog is under 20 lbs doesn't mean it doesn't need ample exercise. Most of the little dogs I know can just go and go and go.
