Poodles are widely considered hypo-allergenic for most people - meaning that even if someone is allergic to dogs, they may not have a reaction to Poodles.
Across the US, the most popular breeds for Service work are Labs and Goldens. After these, the next most common tend to be Poodles, Collies, and various mixes (often with a herding or retrieving breed).
