A Breeder’s Heart

Click here to read the complete article
344 – April, 2018
By John S. Contoupe
A breeder is not counting the sleepless nights before and after arrivals of puppies, nor does he or she mind the sacrifices and missed social calls, or favorite TV shows. A breeder’s heart measures one thing… the first looks when those eyes open, the first responses to his/her voice, the first wagging of tails to his scent and the first kiss, framed with eyes so adoring, that love and trust spill over abundantly, from both breeder and pup.
A breeder does not count the miles associated with middle of the night relief trips of his dam, or darting toward the whelping box at every puppy sound, faster than the dam herself. A breeder’s heart cares for one thing only, and that is the quality of each precious life entrusted to him/her by some higher power and their journey through this life, either as a prized show dog, a fearless field hunter, or a philosopher companion and clown, and a lifelong friend to a loving family.
A breeder’s heart stays with each puppy for life and joins it from afar through all the photos sent by the families of the pup as it grows to adulthood. Through all the family vacations, graduations and weddings and every odd pose, the breeder watches with pride. Every photo is valued, in the show ring or the field, and every step of the way the breeder’s heart accompanies each get, for good or for bad, and in sickness and in health.
A breeder’s heart measures no wages lost, or pairs of shoes destroyed. No grass stains on jeans matter at all, but the kisses and antics on the grass do. One eye is always on the pups while the other watches for danger. The true breeder does not rest until all are accounted for, safe and sound and within sight. Only then may the kissing frenzy begin and not end until all are exhausted and ready for sleep.
No lengthy interview from a potential new home bothers the breeder’s heart. The more questions asked the easier the contract gets and the worry subsides. And when they go, looking out from a back car window, or from the safe harbor of a child’s arms, the breeder’s heart goes with them, a part of it does…and it travels miles long and weary until it knows that the transition was smooth, the pup has settled in to its new home, and there’s peace for all.

A Case Study In the Over Servicing Of Dogs By Veterinarians?Please read




… to protect dogs from harmful and unnecessary veterinary procedures.

Our goal isn’t to bash vets because we truly believe that both vets and pet owners operate under the assumption that conventional medicine and its over zealous use of vaccines and drugs is the path to good health. Vets have fallen victim to the large pharmaceutical companies as much as pet owners have. While there are merits to conventional medicine to treat catastrophic injuries and detect some diseases, its ability to produce good health is questionable.
Vaccination is a good case in point.
Conventional medicine believes that injecting a dog with a virus that’s been spliced with other viruses and inactivated with toxins and carcinogens including mercury, aluminum and formaldehyde will prevent disease and thusly promote good health.

Holistic vets are seeing the opposite:

that the toxins and unnatural entry of the disease are instead creating a chain of inflammation and chronic disease in the host animal.
This issue is compounded when drugs are used to treat the disease caused by the vaccines. While the drugs may suppress the symptoms of the disease, subjecting the dog to even more toxins starts a vicious cycle of disease and dysfunction. Preventing disease by avoiding these toxic substances requires a paradigm shift, but day after day, we receive stories that confirm our beliefs that conventional veterinary medicine is broken and the dogs who are exposed to it often suffer needlessly. The story of Thunder is just one example of how conventional treatment and over vaccination can create a downward spiral into death and disease.

Where It Begins

Thunder was a normal puppy and, as such, received the normal puppy vaccination schedule. She was vaccinated every month for three months. What her owners didn’t know was that she only needed one vaccine to protect her for life and that a titer test would have shown whether she required any other vaccinations. Her owners also didn’t know that the vaccine used on Thunder contained a mix of parvovirus, adenovirus, distemper, parainfluenza and leptospirosis, a mixture that vaccine researcher Dr Jean Dodds calls a Whombo Combo, containing multiple live and killed viruses, bacterins, mercury, antibiotics and more, and how these multiple diseases increase the risk of vaccine related disease.
victims of  vets 004No doubt as a convenience to the owners, Thunder was often vaccinated with rabies at the same time she received  her core vaccines. She also received Lyme disease vaccines at the same time.
Had Thunder’s owners known that these vaccines are among the most reactive and should be given apart from other vaccinations, would they have consented to their use?
The thyroid gland is suppressed for 45 days after this type of vaccination and this creates immune suppression which in turn can create autoimmune disease. Examples of autoimmune diseases are various skin conditions, joint disease and even cancer.
After her normal puppy shots, Thunder’s owners willingly responded to their vet’s expertise and vaccinated according to their guidelines. So they dutifully brought Thunder in every single year to receive these vaccines. Had they known that the rabies vaccine was only required every three years would they have consented to vaccinating Thunder yearly? Had they known that the core vaccines that Thunder received were likely to protect her for life, would they have agreed to keep giving them to her every year? Had they known that vaccines can and do cause chronic disease and cancer, would they have allowed the vet to vaccinate Thunder yearly?

Five years and 56 injected diseases later,

Thunder began showing the signs of this accumulated damage and the downward spiral of conventional medicine induced disease began.

The Beginning Of The End

victims of  vets 003In 2005, Thunder was brought in for a mild skin condition that required treatment. She was vaccinated for rabies and given antibiotics at the same time.
Would Thunder’s owners have consented to that rabies vaccine if they had known that doing so was in direct violation of FDA requirements that the animal be healthy when vaccinated?
Did the vet explain to them that both the rabies vaccine and the antibiotics were immunosuppressive and that this could create autoimmune disease in Thunder?
Thunder was vaccinated again in 2006. In 2007, her owners reported that Thunder had lost 21 pounds and had blood in her urine. Thunder was vaccinated and sent home. Thunder’s veterinary visits then became increasingly regular and her owners had to take a second job to pay for her quickly accumulating vet bills. But they loved Thunder as she was a part of the family and they did everything they could to help her.

Did they know that they were killing Thunder with kindness?

April 2007
 Thunder was brought back to the vet with further weight loss and bleeding

May 2007
Thunders platelets were low and clumping and the vet reported that her condition might be immune mediated or inflammatory

May 2007
Thunder was prescribed Aspirin

August 2007
The Aspirin dose was increased and she was placed on Cosequin and given long acting immunosuppressive steroids (which are contraindicated with Aspirin, a non steroidal anti-inflammatory). She was also prescribed antihistamines. All of these treatments are immunosuppressive.

October 2007
Thunder was given even more steroids and longer acting antibiotics which would have increased the development of autoimmune disease.

November 2007
Thunder was given immunosuppressive steroids both orally and by injection.

December 2007
Atopica was added to the arsenal. Atopica is a chemotherapeutic agent which is very immunosuppressive. Thunder was also given more antibiotics. Her intake notes diagnosed pyogranulamatuous inflammation, a chronic inflammation which is caused by cell damage.

March 2008
Thunder is again taken to the vet and her notes stated she was “sick with fever, chronic dermatitis, crusts, scabs, pustules.” She was given another long lasting immunsuppressive steroid injection. Thunder, now 11, was also vaccinated at the same time, despite her evident illness and FDA warnings against administering vaccines to a sick animal.

June 2008
despite their dwindling funds, Thunders owners brought her to a second vet for another opinion. They were then referred to a board certified dermatologist in hopes of finding a final solution. He stated that Thunder had “German Shepherd disease” and put Thunder on Tramadol, a pain medication and more antibiotics. He also recommended Thunder be placed on Hills Science Diet. He suggested Thunder’s owners might want to consider euthanasia as there was little hope for a good quality of life.

June 2008 After more than $20,000 in vet bills and a lifetime of misery, Thunder was euthanized.

In July of 2008 …

A German Shepherd puppy is brought into the same vet clinic after her puppy vaccinations. She develops the same type of vasculitis that Thunder suffered and the vicious cycle continues. Had this puppy’s owners known about Thunder’s story, would they allow her to be revaccinated?

Not The End

While not every dog’s story ends like Thunder’s, it’s important to note that much of Thunder’s misery was caused by unnecessary vaccination and that conventional medicine was not equipped to deal with the fallout it created in the first place. We at Dogs Naturally, in addition to the vets who write for us, see these cases every single day and this is why we all work tirelessly: to save dogs from the same fate that Thunder suffered.
The largest veterinary corporation in the US states the following on their website FAQ section:
Young puppies usually need several sets of vaccination boosters (just like children) to provide them with as much protection as possible. Adult dogs that are properly vaccinated should be boostered yearly for most vaccines. Vaccination schedules vary depending on age, overall health, state regulations, vaccination type, and risk of exposure.
There are over 770 of these Veterinary Hospitals with over a million pets registered for their wellness plan that covers annual vaccinations. This likely means that well over a million pets are vaccinated yearly by this hospital alone when this schedule has been questioned for its lack of science and safety since 1978. Add to this the myriad of small clinics that also vaccinate yearly – as well as the clinics that vaccinate every three years, as this interval is questionable due to the overwhelming evidence that the core vaccines likely last for the life of the animal.
This equates to millions of pets just like Thunder who are exposed to unnecessary vaccination when conventional medicine isn’t equipped to deal with the carnage it creates. Don’t let your dog fall victim to what noted vaccine researcher Dr Ronald Schultz calls “an indefensible practice.” Every vaccine has the ability to cause a lifetime of misery in your dog, so know remember Thunder’s story and choose your vaccinations wisely and sparingly. Most importantly, don’t trust that your vet is well equipped to make vaccine decisions for you.
“…a dog that is appropriately immunized as a pup probably never requires another core vaccine during its lifetime.” Michael J. Day “How I Vaccinate an Animal with Previous History of Adverse Reaction”, Proceedings of  2010 WSAVA Congress, Geneva http://www.vin.com/proceedings/Proceedings.plx?
