I'm not talking about in general, I'm talking about for grooming. We don't have a single toy or miniature poodle that comes in that doesn't scream for almost everything. Most of the dogs that come in that we have to be extremely careful with while drying are toy and miniature poodles because they are the most likely to have a fit or even a heart attack because they freak out. Almost every old dog fit I've witnessed was a poodle. It's not because their owners baby them, because almost every poodle I've met does it. Maybe it's different elsewhere, but that's how it is where I work.
