Yes, I've heard it off and on over the years. Because of the severe allergies/ear infections of one of my dogs (my lab/shar pei), I feed him the raw food diet, also called a BARF diet, bones and raw food or biologically appropriate raw food. (My basset and husky/collie eat a high grade dry food with no problems.) Those sites and forums seem to be fairly militant about not vaccinating. It's my PERSONAL OPINION that somewhere inbetween the two poles is where most of us are. As always, you need to do what seems to work best for your dog.
I will say that most states require rabies vaccinations for dog licensing. The others can vary. Surprisingly, at our annual check this past July, my vet did not re-vaccinate some of the "annual" shots. Normally, they are VERY mainstream, so apparently their staff is continuing to read and learn--a happy thought.
PS: I have not vaccinated my cats in SEVERAL years. They do not go outside, and the vaccines were becoming harder for them to deal with each year as they aged. The are now 10 and 11 and are healthy and happy.
Sorry for the book. HTH
