Default Is this how you tell a dog is a SD?

I thought this was interesting, and I don't really believe it.

I found an ad on CraigsList saying that they knew she was a service dog at one point because of how well her teeth were maintained, and that only SDs have their teeth shaved.

To me it sounds like a bunch of bunk, but is it true?

What is a shaved tooth? I have a SD. Her teeth are excellent but thats as a result of being fed raw diet.

Most with SD take particular care with the grooming of their dogs, but its not a way to tell if a dog is a real SD or not. Its just that considerate SD owners do everything they can so their SD does not disrupt normal business. My dog gets regular baths, and brushed everyday including with a furminator before going to a grocery store or restaurant. She is also taught to shake on command and knows she is not allowed to shake inside a business. After getting out of the car, and once outside when leaving I give her the command to shake as she shakes to adjust the heavy duty mobility harness after laying down.

That makes absolutely no sense.

What does shaved mean? Weird! I have heard of filing a dog's teeth (usually with aggressive dogs) and I've heard of scraping and polishing but never heard of shaved teeth!
