that each shot comes with a peal sticker to adhere to the records.
I work very closely with our vet. at all times. I was a Vet. Hosp. Admin.
for several years and our office knew who the good, respected breeders
were in our area, and the ones who were terrible. I just prefer not
to take my Babies to the Vet. office (although very clean) until they
have protection via vaccinations. We vaccinate at week 4 with neo-par
for parvo only, and the full vaccinations at weeks 6,8,10,12,14 weeks.
It's really each breeders preference. But good breeders can do it right,
under the guidance of a good Vet. Good Luck, and Yorkies are like chips
you can't have just one:
WOW, what full vaccination do you give? My personal opinion is that you are over vaccinating your pups. The new vaccination protocol recommends that vaccinations should not be started until the pups are at least 8 weeks old and it says vaccinations should be 3 to 4 week apart. You are right in that it is each breeder preference but I will always speak out against over vaccinating. The attached link will explain the concerns of vaccinating too young.
