Interesting convo.
Some vets do refuse breeder administered vaccines and I really do think their reasoning is valid. They just have no way of knowing if they were shipped, store, or given properly. Many people also get their vaccines from farm stores that tend to carry the ones from companies that aren't as good as Merial, Pfizer, etc. That's not to say that I think breeders should never do it. It just takes a lot of studying to make sure everything is right and the ability to dwal with a reaction should one arise or get to an ER very quickly. And the chances of overvaccination for these pups are slightly higher because vets may redo them...
Also, I'm pretty sure that a breeder wouldn't be able to buy the recombinant distemper by Merial which is looking very promising...
