A breeder giving the puppies the shots herself?
A breeder giving the puppies the shots herself? General Dog Discussions
Before I start, I would appreciate if there are no negative comments about the breeder or about the fact that I went to a breeder.I just discovered that the puppy that I put a down deposit on will not be given shots by a vet, that he will be given shots by the breeder. We just put a down deposit on him yesterday, and today I was asking her about a few things and she let me know that. I asked her if the puppies would go to the vet at all to have a checkup to see if they are healthy and she said yes. But she insisted that she was giving the shots to the puppies herself. My main concern here is that, a) there will be no official record of the puppy getting its shot. Yes she can write down and say I gave this shot, but I can easily write that down as well. b) I of course am going to get my dog into obedience courses and the obedience classes all require a proof of vaccinations, a breeders note saying they gave a shot isn't really a form of proof. c) when I take the puppy to the vet for its second round of shots, will the vet take my word in saying that the puppy has already received one set of shots?I'm kicking myself in the butt for not asking this first, but I really loved the puppy and I thought that all the bases had been covered until this morning when I thought of that one question.You know, I never understood why people need to call people names. No question is a bad question, and it is better to ask then to be ignorant. How do you ever learn ANYTHING without asking a question? There is no point in calling me stupid because I decided to ask a question that I was NOT knowledgeable of.
