I think titer testing is a great idea. You give your dog only the vaccinations it needs, when it needs them, and nothing more.
One thing to be careful of, however, is your local laws concerning vaccinations. The city I live near, for example, requires a rabies vacination every two years and a distemper vacination every year - no exceptions.
It is sometimes harder to find a vet in a rural area that will do titer testing. But in a city it should be no problem. And, since titer testing usually actually costs more than the vacinations themselves, I can't see too many vets having an issue with it.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
