Initial vaccination should be given between 8 and 9 weeks of age.
Second vaccination 3 to 4 weeks after at approximately 12 weeks of age
Third vaccination at 16 weeks of age. Vaccinating a pup prior to 8 or 9 weeks of age, supresses the mother's immunities.
This puppy should not leave the breeders home prior to 12 weeks of age, weighing 2 pounds or more and with a minimum of 2 vaccinations.......If the pup is less that 2 pounds he should remain with the breeder until he does.
Contrary to what most believe, vaccinating your pup against parva, etc. does not guarantee that your pup will not contract the infection.......
Do not take your pup out into public until 10 days after it has the full compliment of vaccinations
