yes, this is true, that is why every breeder MUST sit with the new parent and explain WHY they vaccinate, feed and do what they do to the parent, nothing like an educated parent to fight for their puppy dog. I am sure my very first dog was over vaccinated since then 20 years ago we have discover and found out many more reasons why vaccinate later and later.
I also explain to then that most vets try to discard the breeders vaccines and is UP to them to tell him/her that they DO NOT want a revaccination schedule, their puppy is already vaccinated and if they insist to tell them they will look for a new vet, you will be surprise how the vet's attitude changes.
Education is the Best arm we have right now, I have gotten one phone call from a vet asking me why we start vaccinating so late and I send him Dr. Dodd's link.
so it pays to educate and inform the person that is going to guard the wellbeing of the pup.
