You can have them vet checked and get the certificate, and do the shots and wormer yourself if you're comfortable with it.

I couldn't find a vet who would do just parvo and distemper. They all wanted to do 5 or 6 shots in one and I am just not comfortable with that.
I am following Dr Dodds vaccine schedule but I started a little earlier because pups did not get moms milk for 2 days and we had parvo in our home 2 1/2 years ago.

I don't believe in giving puppies too many vaccines, and since my dogs aren't around other animals, I don't believe they need bordatella, nor do I believe lepto should be given before 12 weeks.

It's a personal choice. I chose to do my vaccines myself, because 1 know exactly what each dog is getting and 2 of my 4 are being sold. Both the new owners understand my reasoning for vaccinating the way I did, and both are on board with it.
