So I guess it depends on how you think she meant it. If she meant it's JUST a dog, no I wouldn't like that because it's my baby, not just a dog. But if she was just basically telling you she wasn't an expert on dog breeds, then I wouldn't think too much about it. I would prefer someone that is more familiar with small breed dogs, but I don't expect them to be able to tell me what type of coat my yorkie has...because like I said, they're vets,not yorkie breeders or AKC judges

I agree.

Personally, I think finding another vet is a bit extreme.
