I'm about to be picking up my new pup on Monday, and he will be 12 weeks old. Obviously I'll be getting all his shot and vet records, and then I'll be taking him to the vet on our way back home for a "free" vet checkup from the breeder.

I've occasionally heard people say on here that a puppy shouldn't be OVER-vaccinated, but of course I want to make sure he gets all the vaccinations he needs to that we can start going for fun walks together as soon as possible.

I intend to trust my vet, but I still want to go there armed with as much info as possible so I can talk intelligently with him about my pup's care, including what vaccinations he'll need and when. My question is this: what, specifically, are the vaccinations a yorkie(ish) puppy needs, and what are these "extra" vaccinations that they may not need?

Thank you,

Lauren
