While I have looked over the past responses from earlier post I am still curious about everyones shot schedule or lack of. I have 7, seven week old Mals pup. I read the page where Ed says no vaccinations, does this mean none at all or select vaccinations. While I haven't vaccinated my adults for a couple of years I am concerned about the pups. Seriously confused or uninformed. Are there any that I should give?

Everyone needs to do their research and make the decisions on what they are comfortable doing with their own dogs.
There are risks associated with either decision, I personally would rather fight a disease should one of my dogs or pups become sick, than fight a lifetime of damage caused by a vaccine.
Just my opinion, based on lots of experience raising litters and dogs.
i just had 4 puppies die from parvo. I still hold a no vaccine policy with my animals. Like Cindy said, i would rather deal with that, than deal with the effects of vaccination my dogs entire life. I would say to have some titers done regardless, so if you decide to vaccinate, you can know what you can skip.
Agree w/both Mallory and Cindy for reasons stated. I'd rather give them a fighting chance against an acute illness/disease than subject them to a life of chronic disease. Sooo many recent Parvo outbreaks, and overall, the unvaccinated camp seems to be doing better. Despite what vets say, I am not convinced at all that the vaccine won't cause the illness. If not that, then it weakens them enough to make them susceptible.
However, they're your puppies. If you're selling them, why not allow the puppy buyers to have some input? I've passed up so many puppies I really wanted b/c they were over-vaccinated. I would've loved to be able to have my pup kept separate and unvaccinated. Do what you feel is best after researching ALL sides.
When you are researching health effects, you also need to research the laws where you live. In many localities, a current rabies vaccine is required by law. (I don't think there are any other mandatory vaccines, but you'll need to check). Edit: usually only applies to dogs of a certain age, normally at least 12 weeks).
I am sure that some (many?) people on this board would rather break the law than deal with the possible effects of the rabies vaccine, so that is something that you will also have to consider when deciding whether to vaccinate.
Other considerations: I work with a licenced rescue so I am required to have up-to-date paperwork on all my dogs if I want to continue rescuing and to maintain my good status with my city. I do not know if you are a licenced breeder or if breeders even need licenses in your city, but if so, there may be some requirement in your licencing contract. (probably not, but it would be a good thing to check.)
