On the subject of vac and wormer imo only a knuckle head would not use them. These are not wolves these animals have been altered from there original state. Bout 20 plus yrs ago me and my cuz had a nice set of pits real nice and we bred them the pups where doing fine kept in the house till 5 weeks or so gave them there first shots and went on. The one I had picked was solid white very nice pup and it caught parvo. So ever since I have done it right by what the vet says to do

Well worming preventatively is fine but why give your dog wormer if they dont have worms, I know guys that worm once a week, seems excessive to me, ive had my dogs feces tested and they dont have worms if I worm twice a year. Down south you are probably more prone to worms, from standing water, flat land and different climate.
Think what you will about not vaccinating but the fact is we cant breed the dogs with the healthiest immmune systems if we dont know which dogs have them. For thousands of years dog breeders have been breeding the dogs with the most robust immune systems, why destroy all their hard work for a small percentage of dogs lives. The most common health problems in dogs are auto immune diseases and hyper immune disorders which have been linked to the over use of vaccines, if you research all the health problems vaccines can cause in your dogs and all the health benefits of vaccines and weigh out the pros and cons, you might choose to not vaccinate as well.
Distemper is a type of kennel cough that rarely causes death in a healthy dog and is very rare now days, Parvo rarely causes death in an healthy adult dog so I just dont take my pups off the property until they are ten months old, parainfluenza, another type of kennel cough has mild symptoms and is rarely fatal in dogs. Lepto is prevalent in tropical or subtropical areas, never heard of a dog getting it here, in the tropics people die of it all the time, there are also so many varieties its hard to know if the vaccine is even effective. Adenovirus can be fatal but most healthy adult dogs survive and Ive never known any dog to contract this in my area.
http://www.angryvet.com/vaccinations/ the angry vet website seems to agree that the efficacy of most vaccines is hyped. When faced with the choice to support my healthy dogs immune system that has been developed and tested by these diseases for thousands of years or use a vaccine that contains known carcinogens and compounds that damage the nervous system like mercury and formaldehyde that my drug pusher vet is trying to guilt trip me into using and has a very high likely hood of permanently damaging my healthy dogs immune system, Ill choose the former. Dont get me wrong I do think vaccines are beneficial tools, if there was an outbreak of a disease in my are I would get my dogs vaccinated with a specific vaccine if possible, or the homeopathic equivalent, but using scheduled multiway vaccines in my area would be irresponsible.
so my question is what should I vaccinate for and why? Do some research Judge and I might not be as big a knuckle head as you think. Im not saying you or anyone else on this board shouldnt vaccinate, we all live in different areas with different pathogens. we dont vaccinate our kids out here either, vaccines for humans have the same known carcinogens and more, and have been linked to cancer and the dramatic rise of autism, learning disabilities, auto immune diseases and hyper immune disorder.
