Kjc,

"Quite a few breeders are trained by their vets to perform these procedures. These are minor procedures compared to whelping the pups at home.... Vets offices have many dogs and cats coming in on a daily basis, many of which are sick. To bring unvaccinated puppies into this environment is always a risk, as viruses are airborne and can infect even if the vet's office is clean and immaculate. Even when the puppies are carried in, there is still a risk that the breeder could bring home something infectious on their clothes or shoes. Not only do they save money doing this.... they may also be saving the lives of their puppies."

Thanks for your points. I like your informativeness here. I really do appreciate it. I totally get the pups exposure that's why I said I'd hope they'd find a vet who'd come to them to do vacs etc in a proper environment-like a sterilized area.

I really get why many breeders would do a lot of 'vet' type care themselves-many breeders are in fact breed experts "out knowledge" many vets about their specific breeds, again it's just my humble opinion, a breed would leave vacs, dew claws and tail docking (ear cropping where and when necessicary) to a vet, I'm sure there are many qualified reputable breeders-unfortunately there are too many unqualified greeders out there with sewing sheers and pliers...once the door is open without regulation it cannot be closed.

This is a major reason it was made illegal throughout most of Europe, at first it was to be done by vets only to control the procedure making it medical and not cruelty-I feel Europeans went a bit overboard. I do personally see the reasoning for tail docking, dew claw removal and ear cropping...sorry getting O.T. here, 'whole 'nother' can of worms'.

I'd also like to pint out should there be an issue with a vaccine (anyone can buy them and administer) however, I was under the impression should a vaccine cause reaction etc the drug company will not be held liable unless it was administered by a lic. vet-anyone know otherwise-it's from what I've read online before I replied to this thread.

Again everything here is just my personal opinion (no reflection on anyone I know or am assumed to know) and of course my opinion is always subject to change based on new information or understanding.
