Interesting subject the vaccinations - we do our puppies at 8wks & 12wks, this being the generall norm in NZ - having said that, we have friends who own boarding kennels & their vet recommends 6wk, 9wk & 12 wk vaccinations - I'm not sure, but it seems to be a bit of a revenue boost for the vet - my understanding is that the puppies are covered by the mothers & 6wks is a total waste of money - interestingly enough - the vet that is doing the 6, 9, 12wk jabs also insist on the bitch being vaccinated 6wks in whelp - seems OTT to me
