My ex-wife told me of a friend of hers back when she lived in NYC whose duties included jerking off poodles for artificial insemination, because they've become too high strung to mate by themselves. I'm told that it's not the only "breed" (if one can still use the word) that has fallen on such limp times.

As for beautiful dogs that have become too high strung to be bearable to be around, may I submit The Irish Setter?
