sorry that your encounters have been so negative Nikki. its unfortunate...but all studies show the exact opposite of your experience. i have two friends whose wives work as vet techs at different clinics and each one claims that a certain breed of dog is worse than others...bichan frize (sp?) and poodle respectively. as an owner, i am at the vet's office regularly and i cannot support your claim that pits are the worst as my dog sits quietly and we watch a variety of other dogs freak out and fight each other or vet techs. my gf's dog is the most playful creature on the planet...but put it in the vets office and it snarls and foams at the mouth and snaps...one bad experienc getting its nails clipped early on changed his whole attitude about going to the vet.
anyway...i appreciate your weighing in Nikki...but please do not presuppose that your experience with pits should be construed as the 'norm', because it is far from it.
