Our vet recommends NOT to offer stud service so we don't.
If other dogs were allowed on our property they can bring fleas, ear mites, sexually
transmitted diseases or parvo...one of the deadliest diseases. Dogs that don't know each other can injure one another or worst if they are not introduced properly when attempting to mate. We don't want any health problems or anything bad to happen to our babies.
This means we own both parents
we do NOT offer stud service or boarding
...to keep our dogs disease & parasite FREE

TRIAL SHOWING OVER VACCINATING FOR SMALL DOGS
Finally, a trial showing proof that dogs should be vaccinated according to their body
weight. One of the articles about the trial is “Adverse events diagnosed within
three days of vaccine administration in dogs” by Doctors, Moore, Guptill and
Ward. The trial shows that the vaccine dose is too much for small breeds.
I have seen vaccine reactions in my dogs and customers’ dogs over the years and
debated this issue with vets and the manufacturing companies of vaccines about
reactions witnessed by myself and customers. The same sized dose should not be
for all dogs. A 3 lb. dog should not receive the same dose as a 70 lb. dog. It is the
same common sense principle to not give a child the same sized dose as an adult.
There is such a wide difference in sizes between today’s dog breeds, the one size
fits all approach from the manufactures of vaccines makes no sense. Why wouldn’t
you consider how much each dog weighs? Especially after this study shows, and
made them aware of reactions.
Each dose of the vaccine has the same amount of virus/bacteria. The same amount
of adjuvant, the boosting agents to make the vaccine more effective. Aluminum, a
main adjuvant is a heavy metal that causes many diseases. Each vaccine uses
preservatives, mainly mercury, and another heavy metal. The doses include
antibiotics which kills the good and bad bacteria of the intestines. It is why I
recommend kefir to be given after vaccinations to build up the good flora of the
intestines. The vaccines have stabilizers and foreign tissue cultures such as fetal
calf serum in each dose. All listed ingredients are known to cause reactions, and in
my opinion, underlining factors of disease. Isn’t this why we are giving vaccines, to
prevent disease?
The two-year study of vaccine reactions gathered at 360 of the Banfield clinics in
2002 and 2003 concluded: “Young adult small-breed neutered dogs that received
multiple vaccines per office visit were at greatest risk of a VAAE (Vaccine
Associated Adverse Event) within 72 hours after vaccination.” The trial only
included neutered dogs.
The study revealed more issues related to small breeds and it was published in
JAVMA, the Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association of October, 2005.
There were nonspecific vaccine reactions, allergic reactions, hives (urticaria), severe
whole-body allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), cardiac arrest, cardiovascular shock, and
death. 10,000 dogs were vaccinated, 38 showed adverse reactions. In other words
small dogs have a 4 out of 1000 chance having an adverse reaction. Sure, the
number appears to be low by this study but my own experience with vaccinating my
dogs the percent is much higher. At least it appears, the veterinary community is
starting to acknowledge the issue that size and amount of doses does matter.
The study did NOT include reactions reported after 72 hours. I am sure some dog
owners never reported reactions. Probably, some conditions were not recognized
by the vet as reactions to the vaccine. Delayed reactions can be site cancers
(disease at the site where the shot was given), autoimmune diseases, skin
diseases, allergies and the list goes on.
Seizures were not included in the study. I have seen this reaction to vaccinations
too many times. Once I changed my program to giving 1/2 dose to dogs weighing
less than 15 lb. and combinations of 4 or less (more than one virus/bacteria per
shot, called 2-way to 7-way vaccines) I have not witnessed a seizure reaction from
giving a vaccine.
The World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) of 2007 “Vaccine
Guidelines reports gross under-reporting of vaccine-associated adverse events.”
Vets are warned not to give Proheart 6 (heartworm shot) with a vaccination, due to
a higher risk of reactions. Veterinarians are supposed to warn their clients about the
risk of multiple vaccinations since this study came out. I know I have rarely been
told about risks before giving my consent to vaccinate my dogs. It makes me
wonder how many pet owners have been warned about the risks.
If your dog weighs less than 11 lb., it has 4 times the chance of a 99 lb. dog of
reacting to the vaccine. The chance of reaction(s) is greater the smaller the dog.
Neutered dogs had a 27 %-38% greater risk than unfixed dogs; spayed dogs were
not included in the trial. Dogs younger than 2 years of age and over 6 years of age
were at greater risk for reactions to the vaccines.
Vaccines come in single dose to multiple combinations. A 7-way vaccine includes 7
different viruses/bacteria in the same shot. The risk of reactions is higher in
correlation to the number of viruses/bacteria given at once. Each additional vaccine
given per office visit increased the rate of reaction to the vaccines by 24.2%. The
dogs that died in the study had received 4 or more vaccines at their last vet visit. To
decreases the risk of adverse reaction to the vaccines, give only one vaccination per
visit. Schedule the vaccinations 3 days to 3 weeks apart.
Vaccine reactions were found higher in the following breeds: Dachshunds, Pugs,
Boston Terriers, Miniature Pinschers and Chihuahuas. Then Maltese, Miniature
Schnauzers, Jack Russells, Toy Poodles, and Yorkshire Terriers followed as the
second group most at risk. Mid-size dogs like Lhasa Apsos (cousin of shih tzu), Bichons and Beaglesrated third. Chow Chows, German Shepherds and Rottweilers came in last. Mixed
breeds had a lower reaction rate. Most of the breeds listed are over the range of 15
lb. body weight and they were at the lowest risk. There is a correlation to size.
How do you avoid reactions to the vaccines? Keep your dog’s immune system high.
Diet is important; raw organic is best with pure water (distilled or reverse osmosis).
Never give more than one shot (vaccine) at a time and find a vet who understands
why. Keep combination shots to 4 or less per vet visit. Only use drugs/chemicals
when necessary. I use flea and tick repellants before going to the vet (groomer, or
pet store) and heartworm only during mosquito season. I use eucalyptus essential oil
or other essential oils sprayed on a cloth collar or handkerchief placed around my
dog’s neck instead of frontline to keep pests at bay.
I have found vets willing to use common sense and only give each dog what is
necessary. I have written an article on “Which Vaccinations does your Pooch
Need?” to help guide you in what is necessary for your own dog.

Schedule recommended by our Vet.
Dew claws: 1 - 7 days of age
the dew claw(s) are removed if they have them
Worming: every 2 weeks while in the breeder's care if necessary
- DigestZen essential oil may be used as an alternative de-wormer
use for 3 days in a row once per month or as needed
Vaccinations: recommended distemper 4 or 5 way shot
(distemper, Hepatitis CAV-2, Parainfluenza, Parvorirus (coronavirus)
Puppy Series
9 weeks or as soon as purchased
12 weeks or 21-28 after 1st distemper vaccination
Titer - blood test fir antibodies
titer is done yearly
once antibodies are below required level then re-vaccinate
NOTE:
The vets give the same size dose to a great dane as a 2 # puppy.
The Vet's insurance usually requires the puppy's vaccinations to be redone
even if the breeder gave the vaccinations to the puppy. The Vet's insurance wants ensure vaccination protection and avoid law suits
We want your puppy to live as long as possible without HEALTH issues
and that is WHY we chose to NOT give vaccinations that get redone by the vet.
Rabies: 16 weeks
Titer every year
re-vaccinate when antibodies are below required level
Neuter(male) orSpade(female) not before 6 months of age
and before 8 months of age for this size dog
Heartworm: first thaw to first hard freeze
Snap test-blood test after the first HARD freeze
Heartworm comes from mosquitoes.
Start at 5 months of age,
continue for at least 3 months
Or use Purification essential oil and do a once a year Heartworm/Lyme test blood test-snap test at end of each season after the first hard freeze.
Lyme: shot &/or blood test for at the end of each season
Comes from deer ticks...
***to pass the disease the tick needs to carry the disease
and be on the animal for 48 hrs.
do a SNAP test (blood test) at the end of each season after the first hard freeze.
If any of my dogs have either disease...I want to know about it before Spring
the worms or disease will not be growing from November to April if the test shows positive.
it is NOT necessary to repeat the snap test in the Spring
there are NO mosquitoes or deer ticks during the Winter in Minnesota.
***We have found that many veterinarians redo the vaccinations we have given.
We have witnessed health issues or even death for this size dog.
They give the same size dose to a 100# dog as they do to a 2# dog due to insurance, income and other reasons...
therefore we do NOT give vaccinations unless noted differently.
DO NOT give more than 1 drug at a time
Example:
distemper series, bordetella, rabies, frontline, heartworm...if animal weights <10# are to be given separately...
wait 3 days or more between drugs if no reaction
or wait till reaction is gone & 3 more days or more!
Disease-free puppies are important to us
as I'm sure it is to you.
