From Dr Jean Dodds Protocol on Vaccinations:

20 Weeks or Older (if allowable by law):
Rabies

20 wks if I use my fingers and my toes means 5 mths old for a first Rabies vaccination. Not 4 months old. And older is preferable.

So for the health of the dog now we are looking at a minimum of 5mths old and probably for ultimate health, older for Rabies.

What this does is provide a trade barrier between the USA and all other countries. And I for sure would like to know if the CDC thinks Rabies is rampant in Canada, if so that would be the first I have heard of this situation.

And whilst there is a logical divide of time for optimum placement of puppies between small/toy and medium to large breeds, what you as a breeder face is to make a less than optimal health choice for your puppy if placing a puppy in the USA. And keeping a USA bound puppy way beyond
when it should be going to a for-ever home.

And btw that also means that rescues who want to ship puppies from Canada to USA for placement will also have to abide by these new rules.
Now lets see according to one source that said 300,000 dogs were imported to the USA for placement there by rescues........
