Please know that my dogs are up to date on all their shots - I trust my vet and his medical background even more than I trust my own. I know there are a lot of different things about canines and humans.
I've been doing more and more research on this and the only reason is because I had one dog that had a bad reaction to a vaccination. It could have been due to his age, his health at that moment or even it could have been the vaccine but it did cause me to research.
I can't give you a professional opinion but I will say that I hope if she wants to breed then it's a responsiblity of that breeder to make sure that momma is as health and innoculated for the health of her pups and herself. |

I agree with you...this is why I have titers done. The price is more than the shots but, I would rather pay the price of the titer than to have them get something they don't need.
