I totaly agree, each dog/breed should be treated on an individul bases. Check out this link, which has a schedule of vaccinations VASTLY different and much more conservative than the one you reference: My youngest rec. here first rabies at 15 weeks, she was still too small.

I guess there's more than one way to skin a cat. Does your vet specialize in toy breeds? Also, not all vets have experience with pregnant dogs, which I would consider very important if I was a breeder. In fact, my daughter is a vet tech and she has worked for 2 private practices and neither one of them was pro- reproduction. | fj ojpohggibnkkmvlm
