Who knows I may keep them longer. They are so cute, and I am getting way too attached! I can see it now....there is a crazy lady at the end of the road with 8 dogs and it is me! LOL! No, I am definately going to let most of them go to new homes. Of course, I will continue the next set of vaccines for the one I keep and any that do not sell right away at 12 weeks. |
ok! Vaccination protocal per Dr. Dodd and the Schools of Vetinary Medicine
is 8, 12 and 16 weeks of age with a booster at a year and 4 months after the last shots. If you do a google search on Dr. Dodd it'll spell it out there. I know every state has a requirement for rabies. However, my vet won't adminster the rabies vaccine until 6 or 7 months and then only a 1/2 dose with the instructions that the dog needs to come back in a year for a full dose. I don't recommend vaccinating for Leptos or Corona, or Lyme Disease. Yorkies have had adverse reactions to those shots.
As far as worming, since they're on heartworm meds until they are bred, no chance for worms. But, I do have a fecal tests prior to the breeding and then she's kept in a very controlled environment. Not allowed out in the dirt or grass. When pups are born, I take a fecal in for testing....so, far so good. Just my preferance. Why put a puppy through worming if you don't have too.
