A DOG groomer has revealed the breed they hate working with the most.

They explained that they downright "hated" the dogs due to their bad tempers.

The groomer shared the pet breed that drives them up the walls in a poodle forum.

They revealed that they despise soft-coated Wheaten terriers despite their fluffy exterior.

"I HATE them. They are some of the nastiest-tempered dogs around here," they said.

They explained that proper training from an early age played a large role in the breed's behavior.

"The ones from good breeders that go to good homes are fine; I've got several I've worked on, with, or shown," they said.

"The rest of them... TERRORS is a perfect [way] to put it.

"I have one I finally had to refuse service to because it wasn't worth the $250 that the owner offered me to groom him.

"Yeah, you read that right. I turned down a $250 bath and brush out and occasionally clipper dog.

The groomer revealed that the $250 offer was even much higher than their usual rates.

"Normally, for a clippered type groom, the upper price would be 55, and that's for a long coat.

"This one was clipped short all over, and she was willing to pay me that much because nobody else in town would groom him either.

No amount of money, however, was worth the trouble.

"He jumped out of the tub and went after me once when I flipped on the dyer.

"Then he launched off the table AT MY FACE, and frankly, at that point, I could have cared less if he hung himself falling off the table.

"I backed up in a hurry, and he took the whole grooming table down, trying to get at me."

Unfortunately, the disastrous incident wasn't an isolated event.

"Another time, he managed to get his head out of the noose in a tub and get away from my bather to dart after a client in the waiting area," they said.

"That was when I started doing him before or after regular business hours for safety.

"He didn't try and bite her but he rushed up to her and hopped a gate to get to her. Sadly, it's a common thing for the breed in my area.

While they admitted they could appreciate wheaten terriers' beauty, they drew the line at admiration for their own sake.

"They are pretty dogs, and like I said, the nice ones are nice, but the ones from the local store and the backyard breeders that have popped up since that store started selling them are just unpleasant to deal with," they said. 

"This lady begged and pleaded because I was the only person who had been able to do a thing at all with him without sedation, but seriously, I'm not interested in getting injured."
