I think Dr. Dodd's vaccination protocol is in listed in the library. If not, please google it. This protocol is being taught in Vet Schools throughout the country, not an oppinion but a studied protocol.
Administering vaccinations prior to 8-9 weeks is only inhibiting mother's immunities obtained through the nursing process and subjecting the pups to the possibility of contracting diseases innoculations are supposed to protect them from. First innoculations between 8-9 weeks 2nd at 12 weeks and 3rd and 16 weeks; with a booster given at a year and 4 months after the 3rd.
