Personally, I don’t see a problem with skipping the bordatella vaccine for now. It’s a six month vaccine, and if you don’t anticipate your pup being around other dogs in the near future, you can easily wait a while. I had my pup vaccinated for bordatella in February, thinking I might be able to find him a puppy class. Then the pandemic hit, and we stopped going anywhere. I’m getting notices now from the vet, telling me bordatella is due again, but I think it’s more of a risk to go to the vet just for the one vaccine than to forego it.
I strongly agree with you about the spay surgery. Unless there’s some specific medical reason the vet wants to wait, it ought to be done before your pup’s first heat cycle, which could come before age six months.
