No dog already in the state of Hawaii is required to get a rabies shot ever.. It is only required for dogs coming in from another State or dogs that will be going out of state. My dogs are 6 & 7 and have never had rabies shots.
They have not had lepto shots either because I don't expose them to areas of risk, around farm animals and dog parks.
Unfortunately, we don't have very many reputable/knowledgable Yorike breeders in Hawaii, and I seriously doubt the person you got your pup from is telling you the truth. Your vet is not following standard vaccination protocol either, so if I were you I would question both, and seek a new vet opinion. |
