6 & 8 weeks then either every 2 but not longer than 3 weeks between shots, puppy 5 way, one after 16 weeks. I don't think too highly of Dr. Dodd's schedule nor do my vets. There are too many rescues in the mid-Atlantic bringing dogs up from the south to re-home because apparently we don't have enough and we are seeing parvo and distemper. My crystal ball doesn't work to tell me exactly when maternal immunity wears off and since I have know breeders who have waited and have had puppies come down w/ parvo before 9 weeks...well, so much for Dr. Dodds.

Have you changed when and what you do now, from what you did 10-20 yrs ago? Have you adopted the Jean Dodds revised/most updated vaccination schedule or not, particularly FIRST vaccination at 9 weeks (not earlier)? You can find it here: http://www.weim.net/emberweims/Vaccine.html Why or why not? Or is there other recent veterinary/health research guiding your own schedule/protocol? When are you letting your pet/non-show puppies go to homes? And does this affect your timing the first vaccination? I'd be grateful to hear all thoughts on this from the list.
