Ava never showed signs of the disease if she did contract them. Her first titer was at one year before I did the rabies vaccine. The next time was when she was four and I only had it done so she could fly without being vaccinated.
My vet was against titering. He gave me articals to read in hopes I would go the more traditional route of yearly vaccinating. I did believe I was wasting money titering but I have resisted his fear tactics to vaccinate.
His facility refuses to groom my Brussels griffon without vaccinating. Another favor because she now goes to a groomer that is cheaper and better.
I was curious about dogs who WERE NOT vaccinated for things like parvo or distemper, yet have antibodies through there own natural exposure to the real disease itself.
I'm afraid the question is getting lost for titer talk.
I'm referencing titers because that is the only way I know of to show that an un-vaccinated dog came into contact with a disease and created its own immunity vs. never ever coming into contact with the disease.

Thanks Michelle! This is exactly what I'm looking for.:smile: A dog who had to have come into contact with the diseases(hence the good titers), didn't get sick, and formed its own antibodies through natural exposure.
I had 3 6 month old dogs get parvo about a year ago. None of them had ever received one vaccination.
1 got realy sick but made full recovery
1 showed showed slight signs of not feeling well for 24 about 1 day and was back to normal.
1 got realy sick and we were not able to save him. I am 100% convinced if I had had more knowledge and experience with treating a young dog with Parvo I would have saved him.

You covered the whole spectrum right there.
1 not really sick, 1 really sick, and 1 death.
Thanks Jason!
That difference between the not sick pup to the death is what perplexes me.
I wonder all the unseen circumstances that make one pup die and another basically show no sickness.
Whether you choose to vaccinate or not, there are NO GUARANTEES
I could of easily had the same results if they would have been vaccinated. Because of this I don't see the benefit to risking the side effects of the vaccinations.
i'm glad you posted this michael because i have a question about my 14 wk old pup: he's only been vax at the breeder's (which was probably a waste of vax), but he's at the optimal socializing age and i'm scared to take him out for fear of him getting esp, parvo.
Isn't it highly unlikely for a vaccinated dog to get parvo? I know there are no garantees but I always thought parvo was the one vaccine that might be worth getting.
Had there been any parvo outbreaks in the area I probably would have vaccinated my GSD when he was a pup.

should i just suck it up and get him out there?
I would avoid places like petsmart, dog parks, or other parks heavily used by other dogs. But yes I would get him out there.
