I have talked to many many breeders and I have found that alot of them take the puppies to the vet for shots and check-ups and some say they give there own vaccinations. As for myself I would want a puppy from someone who has physically taken the baby to the vet to be seen and given shots than from someone who has given there own what do you think? Do they not purchase the vaccinations from a co-op or internet. I just feel better knowing my baby was given its vaccinations from a licensed vet. I do ask how the babies have received their vaccinations and some seem to get offended. Who you? I still have not decided if I will breed or not some days I think I could but I really think in the end I would just have a house full of yorkies I just love mine so so much I would have to keep all my grandbabies lol.Merry Christmas to all and May all your dreams come true in "2010"  |
You'll find most experienced reputable breeders administer their own vaccinations. There are various places to purchase them, Revivalanimal.com
is one place. The only vaccination that must be administered by a vet is the rabies vaccine. Vaccines are packed in ice and sent overnight delivery.....as they would to a vet.
Most reputable breeders will take a collective stool sample to the vet for parasite testing......
When to take a pup to the vet for a complete check up is souly dependent on the breeder and the situation. I've taken mine in at a week of age, after hours when no other dogs are on prem, only because their mom took ill and the pups were being hand reared....... However, I don't take them in for a complete check up and testing until they are just about ready to go to their forever homes,...... Of course if there is a situation that arises that warrents vet check up sooner....then off they go.
Remember most reputable breeders work closely with their vet and have learned a lot from the vet.......and would do nothing to jeapordize the health of a puppy.
