Vaccinating Protocol

It is ESSENTIAL that any puppy of any breed has their initial shots. This is usually a course of 4 shots over a 4 - 6 week period with the 2 shots given each visit covering Parvovirus, Distemper and Hepatitis (Corona Virus is optional but I recommend it). In between, we recommend a Tetanus shot.

NO PUPPY SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PLACES (i.e: Puppy Pre-School, Training, Dog Shows, Obedience Trials, Parks, etc) WHERE THERE ARE OR HAVE BEEN OTHER DOGS UNTIL FULLY VACCINATED.

Below is the vaccinating protocol that I personally use on the Dobermanns. My puppies do not leave until 10 weeks of age as the vaccination takes about 10 days to "kick in". We also have returned to vaccinating the dogs we are keeping against Tetanus (something we had not done for 20 years) as we have just lived this nightmare.

There is also an Annual vaccination available for Heartworm Prevention but we do not recommend this injection for Dobermanns.
