****Nope I don't give shots anymore, I take them to the vet to do...FYI the drug companies that manufacture the vaccines do not stand behind their vaccines if you acquire a vaccine from anyone other than a vet...They do not because they can not be sure that the vaccines were handled correctly..If someone at a warehouse does not keep the vaccines at the proper temperature then the vaccine is no good...If a vet gives the vaccine and your puppy has a reaction to the vaccine or dies the drug company will pay the any medical bills that the puppy may incur...


We also feel it is important that our vet has the opportunity to vet check our puppies/adults at that time

So you don't give booster shots either nor any puppy shots. What age do you start your puppies on their shots? I'm leaning toward 10 weeks old. Do you do any wormer yourself on your puppies or do you let the Vet do all this?

We started Tiffanies Litters at the Vets @ 3 days old, for dew claws & tail docking & vet checked then also had Tiffanie checked to make sure she was producing milk as she should, 6 weeks Vet check and 1st puppy shots and 1st wormer, 8 weeks 2nd puppy shots and vet check also. 3rd set at 12 weeks would be last shots and rabies here....

So if we went with starting shots @ 10 weeks old then 12 weeks old then 16 weeks old and shots would be complete here where we live, including rabies. With their last set of shots would last them 3 years? And I would do the 3 year rabies with my own Yorkies... This is so hard to know what is right for your Yorkies...Puppies or adults as far as shots and wormers.
