Our state law says 12 weeks if the puppy comes into or out of the state (Missouri), I'm not sure what is says for puppies who don't cross state lines. I think it's horrible to give rabies to a 12 week old puppy and prefer to wait until 5-6 months to give it. My vet actually says to wait until 6 months if possible, but that means you have to be very careful where you take your dog. What if they accidently nipped someone and broke the skin and the person reported you for having a dog that "bit" them without a rabies vaccination? Both you and your dog could be in lots of trouble.
