There are a few breeders who 'naturally rear' their pups, is a better term than holistic. No vaccines, raw food, etc. I've never heard of any problems and these are responsible breeders in every other sense.
However, it's not for me. I am a 'limited vaccine' believer but I truly believe in those initial puppy vaccines. I booster one more time at 1 yr old, and then I plan on getting no other shots besides rabies for the dogs life, but even I think getting puppy vaccines is VERY important. Why risk these diseases like parvo if you don't have to?
I don't know, just not for me. |
