Here is a breeder in MD that was referenced on the breeder webpage of the poodle that I bought.

This is the breeder I got my standard poodle from 3 years ago, but they are not currently breeding standard poodles.

I looked into the doodles, but what I researched said that there is no guarantee on them being hypoallergenic like a poodle. I figured why not just get a poodle. I didn't want to risk the lab or retreiver part of the dog making me allergic.

Soft coated wheaten terrier - medium sized, hypo allergenic, and wonderful family dogs. We have one, as do several people we know. They are enthusiastic greeters, but I don't think they are any more intrusive than most medium to large sized dogs I encounter when entering someone's home. And I think generally well behaved from what I've observed - I think it depends more on the family than the dog. Ours is very well behaved, as are our friends' dogs.

Havanese - hair not fur

Wheaten Terriers are great for allergies. I still have some issues but if he is groomed often, I'm fine.

Labradoodle puppy is not as good. I'm sneezing constantly.

Cavanese or cavachon are great options.

We have a Wheaten and I'm ok despite bad allergies. I was allergic to Westies and doodles too.
Maybe this isn't true for all of them but some labradoodle puppies she'd a lot and not hypoallergenic at all.
