Would anyone care to share what they have decided? Which ones to get - and how often? I will read the new report, but frankly feel overwhelmed at making sure I don't over vaccinate our new pup (we are picking him up on Saturday!!!)

I found this piece of info info in the sticky section, so I'm assuming I would only go with the required. I will also be checking with the my breeder's recommendation - but the last time I had a yorkie, it was every three years - and my vet did a smaller dose. I remember back then (years ago) that many vets did the same dose for a yorkie vs. a 20 # dog and that was a concern then.

CORE Vaccines for a canine (should be given to all [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]dogs[/COLOR][/COLOR], unless a medical condition warrants otherwise):

*Distemper
*Hepatitis
*Parvovirus
*Rabies

NON-CORE Vaccines for a canine (should be given only when a dog has risk factors for the disease which exceed the risk of the vaccine):

*Corona
*Leptospirosis
*Lyme
*Bordatella
*Giardia
*Parainfluenza

Thank you for posting this and thank you to Wylie's mom for posting the other posts!
