Mary,
You are so right, vaccinating at such a young age, is supressing mother's immunities. Actually leaving the pups at greater risk at contracting Parvo.
I have many exhibitor/breeder friends that either live in Oklahoma and/or travel their frequently to dog shows. None have every had a case of Parvo, but then they do follow the vaccination protocol that has been adopted at the top Vet Colleges in the country.
I do understand the fear of taking pups into the vets office. But, it can be arranged with your vet to have them seen after hours and examined in the vet's personal office. Or, calling ahead, making sure an examining room available and sterilized before you go in.
