After all vaccines were gotten they were 5 months old, that is when I started to house break them. I must have written this at least 3 times.At 7 months old they were 100% house broken, No pads were ever left down after they were house broken. Never once did they make in the house, they were able to hold it until I came home from work. My yorkies were not tiny's, weights ranged from 9 pounds , 13 Lbs and my last beauty was 17 pounds. I don't know what vets in other states advise as to what vaccines are needed before it's ok a puppy can go out and about. I was under the impression all core vaccines are give by time a puppy is 5 to 6 months old. If you and Brister say your vet said all a puppy needs is 2 vaccines then it's ok to let the puppy go out and about, you both live in the same state so maybe it applies in your state. If I were ever to get another puppy I don't care if my Pa. vet said all my puppy needed was 2 vaccines and it could be let outside, I would still go by what my NY vet told me. Wait till all vaccines are given, and now since joining YT I would tack on waiting 2 weeks after last vaccine because that makes a lotta sense to me.

I guess I was taken the house breaking thing to mean potty training that was just an error of my misunderstanding the wording. It's not just our state their are actual studies on it and the third set of shot which is still recommended and I still recommend are mostly a just encase thing. You did say we should trust our vet but you said if another vet where to tell you what we are telling you that wouldn't believe them. Times change and they are making new discoverys in vet medicine all the time so its very important to keep an open mind when listening to vets. If this is what works for you that's great its just not going to work for everyone and that's ok. I just want the poster to know or even any one reading this that their puppy more then likely isn't going to die if they go out in their own fenced in back yard. There is more risk at the vets office then anywhere honestly.
