i dont even know where to begin looking, we live in a town of about 200 people and 1 vet, the closest big town is a few hours away.

I realize this is stating the obvious...

but I presume you googled veterinarians in your area and checked the yellow pages within a reasonable radius of your home?

If you honestly have no other veterinarians nearby...I would compile a list of educational materials related to the APBT and every time I visited I would bring one to your vet and discuss it briefly with him...telling him it was upsetting to me that he had such misconceptions and that it was important to me as his patient that he fully understand my dog so that I could feel confident he was giving the best and most well informed care possible.
