Hi Myrna,
Certainly rabies titers are accurate. They are done in Kansas State lab and are used for export/import regulations and more every day.
Sounds like a line of bull. Tends to wane at 6 years? Where's the evidence of that? Dr. Schultz and others are of the opinion that immunity is likely life long to all virus vaccinations, and rabies is one of the best immunizing agents we have.
But the deeper question is this: did you understand Mistake #6?
And deeper yet, what do YOU want to do with this dog? Who's calling the shots for him (pardon the pun)? You or Dr. WhiteCoat?
