Default Where does your vet draw blood from?

What way do your dogs get it done:

Cephalic (front leg)
Saphenous (outside of back leg)
Femoral (inside of back leg)
Jugular (neck)

Ellie's vet takes it from the jugular and she is really wiggly, so then Ellie ends up with a bruise and last night she jerked her neck with the needle in it, so it took a long time to stop bleeding. I think the neck is the fastest and easiest in small dogs and the cephalic tends to collapse but does anyone's vet take it from the leg?

Just curious.
