That's why I thought it was more of a personal choice for small breed dog owners because they are not out in the yard without my watch, they are too small to really bite anyone nor would they bite, etc.

I will consider rabies shot, but that's about it as fars as the shots go. I've been reading many artcles and they said most vaccines immunize for life. I will tither a little after one year to make sure they are fully immunized, and thats about it.

concretegurl: your "vaccine junkie" article really confirmed everything i was reading about. Thank you! Did you read there that they only recommend two puppy shots (one at 12 and other at 16 weeks)? and then a booster at one year and they are set for life. never heard of two puppy shots instead of three. wonder if it actually works bc my puppies just finished their second shots.

Lorraine: great advice. I have a question for all though. My vet keeps reassuring me he'll be fine if he gets the rabies and third puppy shot at the same time, and says i can't wait til 6 months because it's NY law. I've told him I've been researching and she keeps talking so confidently that I'm getting confused myself. Help? and how do I let her know without "hurting her feelings that she's wrong? (she's a friends friend)
No dog is to small to bite
