The "new" recommendations for toy breeds are to not start vaccinations until 10 weeks of age and space 2-3 weeks apart. Three rounds of puppy shots is considered sufficient with the DHPP booster a year later. Unless your state mandates rabies at an earlier age, waiting until 6 months is good.

Many, many, many vets who are skilled with treating toy breeds do not give the rabies vaccine as mandated. Instead, they give anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 of the standard amount. I would definitely discuss this with your vet as it only makes sense that a toy breed (spefically a pup well under 10 lbs) does not need the same amount of vaccination as a large dog.

There are many here who use titers, but even the titer information will tell you that a low titer does not indicate low immunity, nor will a booster guarantee the titer will increase.

I highly recommend looking into the recommendations of Dr. Jean Dodds. She is one of the leading vets researching vaccinations and is highly respected.

Personally, my girls will not be getting any further vaccinations other than rabies (and my vet gives only 1/4 of the vaccination) for the rest of their lives.

I have never signed a waiver other than for anesthesia prior to surgery.
