HI and WELCOME!!

I'm actually in Colorado, but we have placed a wonderful Doodle with a wonderful couple who might be in your area....not sure. If you search for "River Rat" you would find Leslie here on this forum, and her beautiful black doodle Chouette.

Is Montclair down south of the NYC suburbs? Leslie and Chouette live in the river region and there looks to be beautiful nature all around them.

As to your husband's allergy issues, there is a type of allergy that is sensitive to saliva and results in red spots and hives on the skin when licked; that seems to be dog-specific. However as a breeder it is a real JOY to be able to place a puppy with someone who wants that love and devotion of a Retriever yet needs the lack of dander that the Poodle offers.

I hope this helps!
