I don't know if I'd say Standards are *more* aggressive.


I did give a ton of caveats.


Hey, I wasn't criticizing what you said- just expanding on it. G
Basically, my observation of Poodles agrees with what you said - more than
half of the Standard Poodles I've met have been aggressive, ranging from
bullying and nipping smaller dogs to flat-out serious same-sex aggression.
It's just that I suspect the higher percentage of Standards who behave
that way is more due to the way they're raised and trained - or rather, NOT
trained - than to an actual temperamental difference.
