In regards to the earlier comment that stated vets 'around here' start vaccines at 6 weeks. Sadly, that IS very accurate. However, some of us 'around here' use our brains and decide otherwise instead of just going along with the standard vet protocol and wait until pups are older to have their vaccines administered. Just because a vet will do them that early and some recommend it, doesn't mean you have to adhere to it.
