why do they want a monthly medication price, is she/he sick?

the normal procedure i know is the breeder must give the puppy the first vaccines between 6-8 weeks before they leave the breeder and its repeated every three weeks 3 or 4 times (some do 4 sets of vaccines some do 3, i always do 3)

1st visit is with the breeder one distemper, probably a fecal, dewormer, and an exam body, ears, eyes, coat, etc..

now sometimes the breeders do it all for the customer but the puppy would not be ready to go home until 12-15 weeks of age..but then you miss out on puppy breath = )

2nd visit is with the new owner the procedure is the same as the first

3rd visit is with the new owner the procedure is the same

and then the puppy gets a rabies vaccine

and you are done for the year

please post pics!!
