I didn't mean I prefer titers, over the shots if shots were needed. I said Joey got them last time instead of getting a shot. My vet thinks each case should be decided individually, and he knows we live by a lake and have many dog paths around our property. However, even titers, don’t give the full story. I wish I could be as certain as so many of you that a dog doesn’t ever need a shot again.
When I was talking about inoculations, I was only talking about the puppy shots that the dog gets the first few months. Joey’s breeder gave the shots and I believe her to be very capable, my vet did accept her shots and recorded the dates and times on Joeys record. This does not mean, that I think most breeders should give shots, I don’t even think most breeders should breed.
I have no connection with the YTCA, I did learn about it on Yorkietalk and found my breeder through them. I think many good breeders belong to the mother club, and since I firmly believe that a person should visit a breeders home in person, this allows many people to find a reputable breeder who is within driving distance. So that's why it's in my signature, just to give others more options when choosing a pup. There are lots of other good breeders who are not members though, and probably some poor ones who are members. Again, it's not as black and white as some would think, but what is? Regarding your question about allowing people who breed/sell parti carriers, I seriously have no idea what you mean.
