I'm a little upset by this comment.

If I ever go to a breeder instead of a rescue, I would never buy from a breeder who did any vaccines. None. I don't think any vaccines are a good thing and feel they do more harm than good. I don't think I am any less responsible than someone who minimally vaccinates or vaccinates out the ying yang. We are all doing what we believe is right. I wouldn't take my 12 week old pup out in public whether they were vaccinated or not, and don't think anyone should. Too much is out there and too many diseases can be contracted, vaccines or not. Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.

after knowing of bad breeders who did not get their pups vaccinated at all (then again... they were also outside and exposed to many other dogs and even neighbors dogs/loose dogs) and lost whole litters to parvo at 6-8 weeks.
That's the problem, not the fact that they weren't vaccinated.



Sorry, I'm kind of bitter this morning =/
