When Selling Hog Dogs...

No offense taken. from what ive heard theres a lot more stuff a dog can catch down there. the strong survive but the healthy as well, if your dogs are healthy they can fight off a lot. if I lived in an area with a lot of parvo and the ground was flatter where it could wash in, Id use parvo vacs, it would suck to loose a litter of pups to parvo. If I loose my best dog to something one of these years I might feel the same as you. I hear about dogs dieing of heart worm here and there but Ive never had a dog have it. I dont vaccinate my chickens or goats or pigs either and never had a problem. I used to live in a spot with a lot of feral cats and I had to use the tape wormer more often because my dogs were eating cat feces all the time. I dont have problems with fleas where Im at now either, even when I get them on my dogs from hunting with friends they just seem to die off. I did use that frontline for ticks the other day, they are so bad this year that I was spending over an hour a day picking them of the pups. In general Im distrusting of vets, doctors and politicians, its worked well for me so far. lol
