Which breed is NOT among the stress-sensitive breeds listed?

• A. English bulldogs
• B. French bulldogs
• C. Boston terriers
• D. German shepherds

Answer: (D)

Stress-sensitive breeds in grooming are typically smaller or brachycephalic dogs that tend to become anxious or struggle with breathing when touched, restrained, or exposed to noise. English bulldogs, French bulldogs, and Boston terriers fit this pattern because their facial structure and sensitivity to handling often lead to more stress during grooming. German shepherds, being larger and usually more confident, don’t fit that same stress-prone profile, so they aren’t considered part of that stress-sensitive group.
