I am not a veterinarian, and neither are you, so therefor we/ I must follow the recommendations of my family vet. Who has knows my dogs from day one. Plus I have gone to the same vet for the past 25+ yrs since I have owned my very first kitten.

Below is a link to a web site that backs the information that was posted, thank you!!

Please post your vet's contact information if they do give shots at 6-7 weeks they won't mind stating such...

No I am not a vet, but you assumed that because you don't know me...or you just assume?
Do you know about my med school background as well-which fields I studied in-all of my work experience, schooling?

I wasn't raggin' on your vet...but I can Especially if what they are doing is based on "older schooling" which is no longer taught or recommended based on more recent research and information

What's "un-cool" to me is spreading misinformation as truth...
YOUR LINK: does NOT coincide with what you are saying (at all) either: it says "could" and 25% (at most)-if you further verify the sources of your link they are averaging based on a small study of larger breed pups...ye a lot to learn for some people.
Here's the exert from your link you posted in support of your statement:
"At six weeks of age, 25% of the puppies could be immunized. At 9 weeks of age, 40% of the puppies... "

Again I don't want to seem picking on you, I wasn't please take some time to start reading and researching very thoroughly. Especially if you are breeding you need to be set up to educate others correctly (and yourself) while being set up for success...

I'd love to someday be a breeder/show: when I win the lottery, my kids are off or out of college, I have the time and energy to devote to such a task, and after about 20 years of research, including a lot of reading from reliable sources, and hands on learning from top qualified breeders with the breed I'd love to breed...so I'm learning now not doing and learning as I go...
