I have my puppies vaccs when they are 9 weeks, 12 weeks, 15 weeks and they are given 1/2 shots and I don't give Rabies shots until they are a year old and I make sure I give baby benedryl before and after a rabies shot. Then I vacc again one more time and that's it for the rest of their lives. I do give kennel cough when I have travel to dog shows. I DO NOT GIVE LEPTO! It's not in our area so I do not give that vaccine. Rabies shots are good for 3 years. Most of my dogs stay home with the exception of my show dogs. My vet doesn't pressure me into giving shots unless I make the decision. If I have to travel by plane with one of my dogs then I give the rabies shot if it's due but not until necessary and usually I don't have to worry about that.
I think they are over vaccinated in my opinion when they get older. But I always tell puppy buyers to go with what their vet recommends. And I groom at home so I don't have to worry about a groomer. I have 8 yorkies to groom so I do it myself!
