AnswerI've never heard that before. Actually it is important to find out where your dog was born and weaned. If in a family atmosphere, the temperament will probably be fine with family and children. If in a "dog run" atmosphere (or 'puppy mill' type set-up) the dogs may not be socialized properly. Also, some dogs are just more nervous than others.
My first dog (I was 4 at the time) was a miniature poodle and Babby was my best friend for 15 years. She never bit anyone. When she got older, she tended to snap (as a warning) if a child was too rough with her but she never did bite. Poodles are considered one of the brightest dog breeds, and I think your choice is a good one. But do check to see how the dog reacts to stimuli before buying. I do wish you luck!
