In the US, rabies is mandated by law!! There is the first rabies vaccine (which is a one year vaccination) - usually given between 4 months and a year, followed by a three-year vaccine - here in Michigan. Always give rabies as a stand alone vaccine. My vet will also empoy 3/4 of the syringe out before giving the vaccine as the government mandated amount is designed for a BIG dog.
Following puppy shots, a distemper booster is usually given at around one year. Make sure it does not include Lepto (which would be the "L") in the combination vaccine. This vaccine should also be given as a stand alone and then wait at least three weeks between vaccines. If you give this booster, realistically your toy breed will have immunity for several years, if not lifetime.
