Fozzie has gotten all 4 sets of his puppy shots, I think it's totally over-board to with hold boosters from a puppy because the whole idea is that it sets them up for immunity from the diseases. I've heard of people successfully giving only 6, 12, and 16 week shots - which seems fine, and a program that my Vet even encourages.

Because Gonzo is exposed to dogs potentially with kennel cough & such when going to Flyball & Agility and training, he gets vaccinated every 3 years and titers done yearly. In my county, we have to vaccinate against Rabies every 2 years so I do that too, of course.

There is SO much disease out there, and I don't want to lose my dogs to something stupid, so I try my best to be sure they're protected. Of course it isn't the same world as it was 50 years ago... back then, a pet dog rarely came in contact with strange dogs, and there was less disease as people lived further away. Because I live in the suburbs where other dogs are sitting right across a fence, and I bring my dogs everywhere, and there are outbreaks of Parvo at the local dog park, I would rather be on the safe side. I also do not want to over-vaccinate, as it can be just as dangerous.
