He's a cute little shit I'd get him vaccinated. To much shit floating around out there that could seriously hurt a puppy, and in some cases, even kill him.

Like Shakou said, your pup is very young and it's immune system is not going to be fully ready for all the bugs that are out there. I would vaccinate, at least for his first year. I've had dogs that I haven't vaccinated but they were older and didn't really get out and about all that much. My dog now gets better health care than I do because she goes everywhere and in all honesty the vaccinations are cheaper than treating a potentially life threatening illness. Good luck though, he looks like a Cutey.

Definitely get him his shots. That sucks it's so much in Canada, are there no SPCA-type things up there that do it for cheap/free? There is lots of that on the west coast at least. If not you should see if ya can just bring him across to the border and go to a a clinic here. You can totally bring him to seattle to visit! ^_^ Also good to get the fuzzy family traveling when they are young, it makes them soo much more chill and relaxed about everything.
Ganbatte! and scratch his ears for me. ^_^

Get him shots!!! Parvo is airborne, and extremely dangerous. Also a terrible way to watch a dog die. Blood coming from every orifice, and lots of pain!
