"Dog breeders administer vaccines, a life-altering ability given to them with no license, experience or oversight required, directly affecting the outcome of health, longevity & relationship with a guardian. No one body permits that authority. It's that 'there exists no language that they can't.'"

For informational & educational purposes with acknowledgement of animal breeders who have a genuine love for breeding and respect customers who have the courage to ask uncomfortable questions, with a priority of education and animal over profit.

  • Self selection:

    • "Puppies can identify and select their human immediately upon meeting, sometimes even before interaction occurs. Not random, a sophisticated biological process where innate instincts "scan" and select the best match for their temperament and survival needs instantly. They are born with distinct personalities. When introduced to a group of humans, they instinctively seek the human whose energy and demeanor mirror or complement their own.

    • The validity of this process is so strong that some shelters are using "reverse adoption" protocols. Instead of humans choosing a puppy, potential adopters sit quietly on the floor while puppies are released to roam freely.

    • The puppies consistently and deliberately choose their humans, often bypassing many people to settle on one. This confirms that given the agency, puppies do pick their humans 100% of the time based on their own internal criteria, rather than being passively selected.

    • A landmark study by the University of Arizona tested 375 puppies at just 8 weeks old with minimal human contact.

      • The Finding: The puppies, still living with their littermates, showed an immediate, innate ability to communicate with humans (following pointing gestures, making eye contact). They locked eyes with strangers from the very first trial, proving they did not need to "learn" how to connect.

      • The Conclusion: Over 40% of this sociability was heritable. This proves that the ability to identify and connect with a specific human is hardwired into their DNA. They don't need to "learn" to pick you; they are born with the equipment to find their person immediately.

    • If a breeder doesn't allow this, is that in the puppy or customer's best interest?

  • Microchips: Some breeders administer microchips.

  • Vaccines: Administered based on what breeder thinks the animal needs.

    • "When a puppy or kitten, horse, cow or any animal is vaccinated while still nursing and actively absorbing high levels of the mother's antibodies, those antibodies recognize the vaccine as a foreign invader and neutralize or destroy it before the baby’s own immune system can learn. Known as 'maternal antibody interference', this is the primary reason why early vaccines fail to "take" and why conventional veterinarians give multiple repeated shots—to keep "trying" until the maternal antibodies have faded enough to stop blocking the vaccine."

    • Giving vaccines before 3 months damages innate immunity, physical and emotional well-being.

    • There are no rules for how many times a breeder can vaccinate animals for the same disease.

    • Chronic disease often follows even a single vaccination.

    • There are informed, reputable breeders who use nosodes or titer testing in place of vaccines.

    • Does your breeder know?

    • Vaccine administration is considered a medical treatment, normally unlawful without licensing or training. Medical decisions are being made by breeders many times based often on misinformation.

    • Puppies are often multi-vaccinated before they go to a new home.

    • The whole vial is given regardless of weight.

    • Some veterinarians revaccinate on the first visit if they don't trust the breeder's administration or storage methods.

    • Millions of stories from guardians about their animals being harmed are not heard because reporting adverse reactions is voluntary.

    • Is your breeder informed of the adverse disease states of microchips, if practiced?

    • Deviations in breed appearance related to vaccine-induced epigenetic changes remains a possibility.

  • Vaccines, parvo

    • Clinical observation shows a significant difference between vaccinated & unvaccinated puppies, with unvaccinated puppies having a 100% survival rate compared to 25% in vaccinated puppies, concluding that the parvo vaccine itself compromises the immune system's ability to fight it.

    • https://vitalanimal.com/prevent-parvo-distemper/ (prevent parvo without vaccination)

    • Personal research indicates it more common in places like shelters, vets, and some breeder homes after multi-vaccinations.

    • "Maternal antibodies can neutralize parvo, distemper & other viruses instantly upon exposure, preventing infection until the puppy's own immune system takes over."

    • It has been revealed that the parvo vaccine suppresses puppies' immune system, that introducing parvo or any vaccine during the critical window of maternal antibody protection disrupts innate immunity. This leaves the puppy with neither the full protection of the mother's antibodies nor a functional own immune response, making them more susceptible to parvo infection upon environmental exposure than those who develop immunity naturally.

      • Paxaid is an organic natural treatment for parvo and severe GI disturbances. There are many success stories in helping puppies recover at home, often combining it with Vibactra Plus and electrolytes.

      • Vibactra Plus + Paxaid or Vibactra Plus + Kitty DT can to be used to treat Parvo, Distemper & other GI diseases.

  • Vaccines, distemper

    • Extremely rare due to widespread immunity. If signs appear, it can look like respiratory symptoms or reduced appetite until fully recovered. The last distemper case in Washington State was in 2015.

  • Vaccines, rabies

    • Where's the science that rabies exists?

    • Do breeders who give rabies vaccines know the US was declared free of rabies in dogs in 2007?

    • Breeders in certain states can legally also administer rabies. Since breeder-administered rabies vaccines are legally void in almost every state (they need a vet's signature), the puppy is "effectively unvaccinated" against rabies.

    • More information: 'Vaccines' > 'Core and Non-Core Diseases'.

  • mRNA vaccines:

    • mRNA vaccines alter DNA gene expression by interacting with RNA and inducing epigenetic changes that "train" immune cells. Some of these can persist for months or longer. Science cannot guarantee with absolute 100% certainty that every individual's epigenetic state will return to its exact pre-vaccination baseline indefinitely.

    • mRNA vaccines induce epigenetic changes that alter gene expression in immune cells, and one cannot rule out the possibility that persistent epigenetic changes could eventually influence phenotype (external features).

    • Current evidence confirms that epigenetic modifications driven by environmental factors (diet, stress, or toxins) can significantly alter physical traits such as coat color, body size, and skeletal structure in animals. Deviations in appearance related to vaccine-induced epigenetic changes remains a theoretical possibility.
