[Vinniedoggy]

I have not read all the vaccine research out there, but here's what I know from experience. Vinnie, my older yorkie, got very sick after one of his vaccination rounds (he was about 2 or 3 at the time). He vommited for days, ran a fever, and was just generally miserable. I think he received 3-4 vaccinations at that time. Since then, we just do a rabies. We don't need bordatella because he is not kenneled. And we have titer testing done for everything else. He has not had a distemper shot in years but still has sufficient antibodies for protection.

According to my vet, most dogs will retain antibodies from their first round of vaccinations and, therefore, never really require another vaccination. Using this method has worked for us.
