I know this doesn't help but they are all nice breed dogs to have in an apartment.They all seem to bond with owner and since you don't have children you do not have to worry about that because the small breed dogs tend to not be good with children. I have a long haired chihuahua. He really does have a great personality and my mom has schnauzers and she is very sweet and a good lap dog my grandmother has a toy poodle and she is cute but kind of stuck up.Good luck with which one you choose just love it and take care of it and you will have a friend for life.I say spend time with each of them and see which one you like the best.They all need love , walking , and attention.

Of these three choices the least maintenance will be the Chihuahua.
Poodle and Schnauzers need professional grooming and your brushing and combing in between the groomer.
Schnauzer is a Terrier, unless you are really a firm handler all terriers are a handful. They will badger you for attention and playtime long after the Chihuahua is cuddled up asleep beside you and the couch. They will require a lot of walking and burning up their energy. That takes time. Of course they mellow some with age. Bored dogs are destructive.
A Poodle is an intelligent breed that does best with very attentive owners who will take them out of the house often to help them beat the boredom blues. They are easy to train to do lots of tricks which helps them to be mentally challenged.
Unless you can commit to walking your dog and working with it on tricks and fetch and so forth this can be a high maintenance dog. Bored dogs are destructive.

Definetly not a poodle. They are sassy and need high maintainece. Miniature Schnauzers are great for small houses. Chihuahuas can be a pain in the butt so I suggest getting the Miniature Schnauzer. That is your best bet. Believe me because I am a vet.

i am a breeder of Chihuahuas so i think they are the best ! They are the smallest breed of dog in the world, average size is about 5-6 lbs. they don't eat much, they love to cuddle, sleep with you, and travel with you, they don't like being left behind.they have wonderful little personalities, and do not have to be groomed by a professional groomer as with the other 2 breeds.

Chihuahua. They are the best. They are small, smart, cute, Loveable, sweet,can be trained to use a litter box. A smooth coar does not need a lot of grooming. They don't eat much. They are really wonderful little dogs. They can bark a lot tho.

mini schnauzers have got to be the smartest and most interesting dogs around. we live in an apartment also and our does just fine with daily walks and play time. we wont own another dog without having our schnauzer fix first

You should get a Chihuahua that dosen't bark alot and the is probably one, two, three or four months old so you can train it and so it can get to know you better. My dad has a friend Mr. and Mrs. John Rooks and they have three,yes thats right THREE chihuahuas I'll name the from oldest to youngest 1:Killer, 2:Dasher and 3:Cocoa and they don't bark alot!! Good Bye I want to answer more questions!!

you left out minature doberman, outstanding small dogs with great personalitys, Ive had chihuahua, they tend to attach themselve to only one of the owners, poodles are boring unless properly trained.

In my opinion I would say either the poodle or chihuahua would be better.
