Well, here's my thoughts. The breeds you listed are all shedding NOT hypoallergenic. They will aggrivate allergies. Jim has allergies bad and bad asthma. Here are some med-lg breeds that are usually good for allergies:

Standard Poodle
Portuguese Water Dog
Giant Schnauzer
Old English Sheep Dog
Airedale Terrier
Irish Water Spaniel
Basenji
Soft Coated Weaton Terrier

Here's a link that also gives some other info regarding breeds and allergies..

Good luck in your search.

PS. If allergies weren't an issue, I would have suggested Rotties, my mom used to breed them. She has 2 yorkies that lived well with her retired stud Rottie (RIP Judd).
