I have personally spoken to Jean when she was out here a few years ago.

If you have any doubts, I am sure if you e mailed her she would be happy to help you out in any way.

If you are also in doubt about Nobivac vaccines just e mail them as they are only in Bendigo Victoria.

Never taken a huge amount of precautions with litters. It was only back in the 90's when parvo first reared its ugly head that some of the GSD breeders got a little twitchy about visitors.

My pups are all raised in the house from birth and we have the normal coming and going of people thru the house. We are in a rural area and lots of different animals around.

Really the only thing I do is question if people come to the house if they have been to other litters of pups or at petshops etc. This is more a concern for me than people's own dogs. My pups travel and visit at friends from the time they are 4 weeks old as part of the socialising program - I know it might be some risk however the benefit to the pups social development over-rides that.

My biggest concern is the vet clinic - Prefer the Vet comes to the house and vaccinates here. I also don't like the idea of puppy classes being held in vet clinics for the same reason after all this is where the really sick dogs go as well as unvaccinated etc. and it is literally impossible to clean down the whole clinic.

Pups receive some resistance from their mum before they get their 6 week injection, If they are healthy pups they should be fine. I have raised 15 litters and (touch wood) no problems.
