After the puppies get their 5 way shot (distemper, etc) the recommendation is for a booster 1 year and 4 months after the last shot. I usually do not do that but have a titer done instead to see if they still have the immunity. I just gave my puppies their first shots and gave Kalina and Matty their boosters at the same time - it has been quite a while for both of them but they were fine because I did titers on them.
I do give my guys Bordatella because I take them to shows, etc. and there are a lot of sick dogs out there.
