Since there were concerns about her immune system we did titers on her and luckily they were ok. We also did titers on my other dogs. My older yorkies are just turned 6 and 7. They weigh 2.5 and 3 pounds so I had been giving them their shots every other year. With so many people choosing not to immunize their dogs titers are a good option. They cost a little more but beat paying the vet bills for a dog with parvo and definitely beat losing you baby.
Are you sure the breeder did the shots for sure? DAP lasts 5 years it is to much to give it every other year and the closest they should ever be given is every three years. Your vet should know that.
