Forgoing shots would be detrimental to the puppy. Holistic diets on the other hand are another matter, but even that could proof unsafe if the breeder wasn't aware of certain things, for example more attention has to be given to proper food storage and refrigeration when feeding raw and a breeder should know these things. |
I don't disagree with any of this, I was just posting examples for people who maybe didn't know or understand. Most don't use the term 'holistic' but rather 'naturally reared'....
