<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>Your vet is right in that "L" lepto is a
very reactive vaccine. In fact Dr. Schultz recommends never giving Lepto
to small dogs. (not that bassets are small dogs, but I have Dachshunds,
also and never give Lepto) Bad reactions to Lepto can last 4 or 5
years while the postive effects only last about 9 months and not all strains of
Lepto are covered.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>Your dog does not need vaccines every
year past his year boosters. Dr. Schultz actually says that after the year
booster dogs do not need to be vaccinated (other then rabies required by law)
ever again.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>Most other vets only recommend the core
vaccines every 3 years or so.</FONT></DIV>
