That is true in some cases, but we do regularly give lepto to Bicons with no reactions that I've been made aware of at my clinic. I have heard this though, and clients who purchased Bicon's from a breeder will oftentimes have a handout stating the breeder doesn't recommend the vaccine. We never push the vaccine on owners, but make it known that it is a known problem in this area and allow the owners to make the decision if they want to vaccinate for it or not. We serve the pet and client, not our pocket books (not that it matters, anyway, the cost for a DHLPP is the same as a DHPP at my clinic lol).
