I have had a simalar experience with a new vet. Aperantly the breeder had given her pupp shots herself. SHe started them and kept dates. The vet told me that these types of shots breeders can buy are not as effective as the ones a vet gives. He reccommended to me to began puppy shots all over again. My puppy is only 9-10 weeks old.
i did pay for the puppy shots and visits in a puppy package. I am thinking that this is the better alternative.
I was not aware that the breeder hd done this herself! I found this out later. Looks like it did not do the pupps much good though. i believe now this this particular backyard breeder is terrible... I am actually lucky that Suzi is as healthy as she is.
