I need a dwarf grass that grows to a height of about 1" and stops growing, stays green most of the year, is hardy to -20 degrees, has long roots so that it can survive a drought and is soft, not stiff, does well in both sun and shade, requires minimal watering, and must resist pests and herbicides.

In other words, the lazy man's perfect lawn.

Not to mention that it should be resistant to dog pee

Pour concrete over your entire lawn. Then, have an artist come in and paint grass onto the concrete. The only thing lacking will be the softness you are looking for. It will be permanent and never need cutting! An alternate method is to order artificial turf:)

Check this out, I'm going to start converting my lawn next spring: Buffalo Grass

3 to 5" tall, needs little water once established, and can handle Nebraska winters.
