Same here......except we do the Max 5 vaccine by Ft. Dodge at 7 - 8 weeks.
Second one 11 weeks before they go into their new homes. IF we keep any pups
they don't get another one until 16 weeks...or even up to 22 weeks. Generally
the
one at 22 weeks is the last. We've had a couple of Vets advise us to not
skip the one
past 21 weeks. We follow up with one Booster a year later and are done.
All puppy buyers are advised the same. We advise no more boosters past 3 yrs.
Rabies we put off as long as legally possible in California...which is 6
months.
Our Vet advised us of this years ago. In Calif. pets have to have rabies
every 3 yrs.
We also personally do not get a flu nor pneumonia vaccine ourselves either.
Did twice.... and both got sicker than we've ever been. Now we don't...and now
everyone around us gets the flu....and we have not. ( and we're old! ) <G>

I pretty much follow Dr. Dodds protocol. First vacc. for Parvo & Distemper
ONLY at 9 -10 weeks, then 12-13 weeks and finally 15-16 weeks. I do Rabies as
close to a year of age as possible.

I thought it was vaccine BEFORE 16 weeks does nothing!!? Could have sworn I
read a article put on the Atlanta GSDCA about it!
I got flack from my last puppy people for not vaccinating at 6 weeks old. I'm
not going to either!! I think my Vet gave me grief too. I will do a 5 way at
eight weeks old and no lepto. I agree about rabies shot until they're much
older.
If anyone has any suggestions as I am new. Would love to hear your schedule!! I
follow what my first dog was, from Kridler's and she's beed doing it very well
for many years! Angela

Dr. Ronald Schultz has proven that vaccines after 16 weeks do nothing. Dr.
Dodds has supported his findings also and suggests titers (yes Kathy S, I know
you aren't fond of her).
I give 1 rabies vaccine to my dogs, never before 8-9 months of age.
Supporting findings on my own dogs.....2 of my dogs, brother sister....1 lived
to 14 years 10mths, the other 15 1/2. They had 1 rabies, and only 1 parvo shot
after a year of age. I have never over vaccinated and in MY own line of the
dogs I bred, average life span has been 12-14 years.
Had more health issues when I moved south than when I lived in Canada. Found
that having to treat constantly for parasites and heartworm certainly had an
effect on overall condition.
An interesting read is Dr. Catherine O'Driscolls book on vaccinosis..."Who
Killed the Darling Buds of May".
I am so sorry for your friend and her loss. Hemangiosarcoma is such a fast
killer.

Below is a heartbreaking message from my close dear friend in MI. I would like
opinions from many GSD people on this list. This friend lost a GS last year at
this time from Hemangiosarcoma. Then this year at the same time she lost
another precious extremely talented GSD IPO3 from the same disease. They were
both on the same immunizations at her clinic. This person is a wonderful
caretaker of her shepherds. The best food, live in the house & always has taken
the best care of her shepherds. Both shepherds were NOT related. I just spoke
with my friend next door that hasnāt given vaccinations/heartworm medās for a
number of years to his Catahoula hound either. And has stopped his vacās to his
4 quarter horses for years. His horses are not shown any more, never leave
their place or bring anything new in. I told my vet no more vaccinations to my
7 year old or 8 year old GSDs. I have a GSD friend in OK who couldnāt get
control over the fleas & ticks. She told me she felt like she was poisoning her
dogs with all the pesticides that just didnāt work for her anymore. I
understand the concerns for someā¦ A really difficult decision. Kathy Partch

Friends, right now both my heart and soul are aching and breaking. If I had
listened to all the breeders, my Lobo would still be alive and well today
(and, most likely, my Athena too). DON'T give your pets yearly immunizations.
Get the 3 years rabies, the initial immunizations, and then blood titers of
the other ones needed (to check if their blood levels of immunity are good).
Immunizations are both unnecessary and lethal. For all of you who disagree
with me, well, frankly, I don't give aā¦.! Just PLEASE heed my warning (for
your pet's sake) Sincerely hurting
