The problem of vets being anti-breeder is not new. It does make you wonder how smart they are, tho (or rather, how stupid), because if there were no breeders, these jackasses would be out of business! Just pass the word....let everyone you know who breeds dogs or cats or birds NOT to patronize that particular vet. When you find a good vet who is pro-breeder, let the world know. Send them the business that might otherwise go to the anti-breeder vet. Many vets become that way after dealing with rescue dogs and puppy mill dogs, but somehow they can't differentiate between those and good breeders...either that or they're learning in vet school, which really makes me wonder what kind of sense these people have...........
