My other requirement is no girly-dogs so no pugs, poodles, bischon frises, etc.

I think you're selling the poodle a bit short. granted, in its show cuts it looks rather ghey, but when it has a normal coat, a standard poodle is a pretty cool looking and very nice dog.
my two cents.

This is true. Standard poodles are wonderful dogs, and pretty sedate, but still wouldn't be appropriate for condo life I don't think. A smaller poodle might be, but those are obnoxious.
I recommend a daschund (sp?). They're small dogs, calm, cute, and seem to be popular in urban centers from my experience.
Also, if you aren't willing to shell out $1000-1500 to a breeder for a dog you should perhaps reconsider. That's a reasonable price for one, and the ongoing expenses are going to be significantly higher over its lifetime anyway.
