I am not vouching for the accuracy of what they said but I would not take any chances and always get my Yorkies only 1/2 the vaccine.

Thanks Trini! My breeder told me the same thing..just wanted a 2nd opinion. I can't see why a large breed dog would get the same amt as a small breed dog?? And I've seen cases where yorkie pups came up w/ addison's disease from over-dosing on vaccines. 1/2 ml is what I'll be giving...thx again!
