Can I ask what you mean by your vet heart testing a 6week old pup, or do you mean, he just listens to their hearts along with the general 6wk check up , before they go to their new homes??
Just wondering??
you have asked me that question about heart listening in before,and the answere is still the same
,i was suprized bout the 6 week vaccine as my other vet dont vaccinate them till 8-10 weeks,just because they get vaccinated at 6 weeks dont mean they go at 6 weeks
,i never said alot of breeders give the vaccine,if you picked it up wrong that not my fault,
however my vet tells me alot of breeders dont give any vaccines,they just scoot them out the door with no checks of any sort,or vaccines for that matter,
surely as mine are vaccinated and sounded out do that make me in the wrong for vaccinating them,the vet signs a full cert stating no heart murmurs,but they still need to be re-done by the approprate vet once they reach 12 months and i recommend there checked every year to be sure as heart problems can creep up on them,i also make a point of getting the hips checked as there alot of boxers with hip problems and alot of breeders tend to over look that problem,
i have said all im going to say in this thread,and am now going to bow out and leave the debate,and let you all carry on.
very enjoyable debate,thanks to the original poster,jackpat.
