 Do you live in an area where Lepto would even be a threat to your dogs? Cresties tend to have anything from mild to very serious reactions to the lepto vaccines. Unless there was a high probability that your dogs are going to come into contact with infected waters, vegetation, etc., I personally would not vaccinate. Here is an article on lepto, how it's spread, etc. Lepto is treatable with antibiotics, but only you can judge whether your dogs are routinely exposed enough to areas where they may come into contact with infected areas to warrant vaccinating.
