Trust me, if they’re badass enough (like a tortie), it don’t matter what age the dogs are.
My Dobermanns just laughed at that.
I had a tortie that was usually lovable, if a bit cantankerous. But take her to the vet and all bets were off. The vet would see me and her come in the door and he would lean in to one of his assistants and say “Gina, we’re gonna need the eagle gloves for this one”.
