Re....... Many vets are morons

Must say I take exception to this statement. Know many Vets, married to one. No morons in the bunch.

It being quite a bit harder to be accepted into an American Veterinary college (due to the very limited number of schools - seven I've been told) than a medical school the competition for spots is even more selective. Then there's the whole requirement of treating medical conditions in a nearly countless variety of species. So yeah, the ones who make it are unlikely to be morons. But Carolina's are still unusual and a breed that has probably not been covered well in their training or clinical experience.

We have a one and a half year old female Carolina rescue (spade when we got her, unfortunately) and it was a trainer who had owned one herself that clued us into Sam's breed. We checked off every marker that distinguishes the breed and only wish there was a DNA test available to confirm it. Most intelligent dog I've ever owned with some behaviors that are just "different". Very glad we have her at such a young age and may enjoy being her pack for a few years to come.

I’m with you, PM. Our daughter is studying to be a vet tech. BS in Bio. 20 years as close to horses as anybody could possibly be. Smart as can be.

We are friends with a power couple that are both Vets. Smarter than the average bear they are. They often tell us how much harder it is to get into Vet School than Med School :-).
