here their are no vaccins required by law. our vet(holistic) does not recomend vaccines either. its the rabis vaccin that ruined my dog. she was a very happy dog(hence the name "happy") she loved everyone went to greet people and other dogs happily. she gets her Rabies shot. she freaks out at the sight of a person or dog, it took her nearly 2 years to learn to trust my best friend again, who she has known since I got her. she quivers with fear at anything and everything. either that or she lashes out in fear. her breeder had done lotes of socialization with the pups to make sure they would not grow up to be chickens. happy was well soclaized and everything, she gets her rabies shot and boom she is a different dog.

oh and my dogs are around other dogs all the time, nearly every day, at the park or flyball or obedience classes, on walks they get top play with the naighbors dogs ect....
