Certainly an RN is qualified to give a shot and understand the dosage recommendations and need for quality control. All these things are legal as well. The only reason the rabies shot can’t be given by anyone other than a vet is because any time some disease effects the human population, special precautions have to be made to insure it’s done properly. Again, not saying that most breeders should give shots, but this wouldn’t affect my judgment on the breeder’s qualification as a good breeder one way or the other.
You say you prefer titers.... I don't think you can do that yourself can you? So if you can't do your own titers then how do you know when to vaccinate when its needed? Also when did YTCA start allowing people who breed/sell parti carriers to be on the Breeder referral list? You have that link in your sig line. Just wondering???
