certified health certificate
 

On the airlines websites when I was doing the research. One of the requirements it mentioned was a rabies shot. The little Yorkie babies aren't expected to have a rabie shot are they at 10 - 12 weeks old???????? Maybe I'm not reading it correctly.

I'm personally afraid of giving the rabies shot to these little Yorkies, especially if they are strictly in the house pets.

Mine have not rec'd a Lepto nor rabies. The breeder I bought my Yorkie pups from did not recommend these two vaccinations, as she has lost too many pups and adult yorkies to the vaccines from reactions.

Talked to my vet about it and she said it would be strictly up to the owner. If your YOrkie was not prone to drink out of mud puddles or ponds....Lepto would not be necessary.

I'm so over protective of my dogs its unbelievable. Sure don't want to knowingly introduce anything into their bodies that might hurt them.

I've read and read humans as well as animals are over vaccinated. Thats why the immune systems are destroyed.

An article from Texas A&M University, who has a veternarian school - stated in a recent newsletter than after the initial puppy shot series -- no further vaccination of your dogs are necessary. Unless your doing the rabies shot (every 2 - 3 years). That in fact, all your doing giving boosters is destroying the immune system and lining the pockets of your vet with more money. I don't know....you read and hear everything.

Ask my own personal vet about it, she says every 3 years for boosters after initial puppy shots. Depending on the exposure your dog gets to outside elements...i.e. other dogs, etc.

I don't know whats right. I'd just like my babies to live as long as we do and not just the 15 - 18 yrs.

My African Grey Parrot will possibly live 60 - 80 years. Why can't our dogs??????

keep the post coming !! i'm learning alot about shipping my baby !! :D

I got Max from the same breeder. He did great.
Piper on the other hand was a nightmare. Long hours, shipped in a crate with torn up newspaper. By the time she got to us her trip was over 12 hours. She was covered from head to toe in poop. The breeder wanted to ship her with a pet nanny that takes your pet from one destination to another, but she was filled. So she just put her on a plane after a 3 hour trip to the airport. She was shipped on a cargo pet plane, that was horrible. So to make a horrible story shorter, I got Piper home after a 16 hour trip for her. I would never set up that long of a trip without going to get them. I just didn't know at the time having Piper shipped would have been so difficult for her.

The rabies is waived in such a young dog and it's noted on the health cert that they are too young to receive the shot. Shipping is fine and it's a personal choice. I have shipped both via cargo and VIP service. I have done it with no problems and would do it again. Good luck. PM me if you have any other questions.
