Semi, My wife has the same problem. So my German Shorthaired Pointers live in the garage. I think this is a personal deal, so I think you need to go be around some dogs and see what happens. My wife could be around poodles with no problems and I have a freind that has a good hunting poodle. If you are interested I can get the breeders name for you. I am in Colorado and I don't know where he got his poodle, but I can find out. Good luck with your search.
