Vaccination Schedule
Our typical vaccination schedule is a bit delayed then the standard. We usually keep our puppies with momma until 7-8 weeks to ensure proper development. We feel an extra week or two of momma's love and milk can't hurt a thing! We administer the following vaccinations depending upon how long/short the puppy stays with us: | Age | date | Vaccination details | | 7-8 weeks | | Parvo, Corona, Distemper, Leptospira, Parainfluenza, Adenovirus Type 1 & 2(Duramune Max 5) (Subcutaneous or under the skin Vaccination) Parainfluenza and Bordetella Brochiseptica(Intra-Trac(R)-II)(Intranasal Vaccination) | | 9-12 weeks | | Parvo, Corona, Distemper, Leptospira, Parainfluenza, Adenovirus Type 1 & 2(Duramune Max 5) (Subcutaneous or under the skin Vaccination) | | 13-16 weeks | | Parvo, Corona, Distemper, Leptospira, Parainfluenza, Adenovirus Type 1 & 2(Duramune Max 5) (Subcutaneous or under the skin Vaccination) |

Worming Schedule Puppies are wormed biweekly from age 2 weeks until they leave. Pet owners are advised to continue a worming schedule with a monthly wormer such as Interceptor. Our babies are vaccinated and wormed, and their health is ensured by a veternary check. Should we have any problems the puppies visit our vet as soon as possible.
