8 in 1 at 7 to 8 weeks and then another 3-4 weeks later and then give another 8 in 1 every other year after that...been doing it since the mid 1980's with no parvo or corona issues...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

in Texas the rabies vaccine has to be done by a vet, you can have it done at 4-5 months...

 i have given one 8 in 1 vaccine to a few pups an it has been enough but I wouldn't bet on it working all the time...

if the grown dogs have had a yearly 8 in 1 they should be ok...

if the dog is over a year i dont bother with the distemper, parvo, or kennel cough vacine but i do the rabies, and you can get with some vets to give you the rabies you just dont get the tag saying they got the shot. jmo Smiley

I give mine 5- way @ 4, 6, 10 weeks then 8-1 about 13. The shots don't do any good while pups are still nursing, but just to be on the safe side I start mine at 4 weeks cause some start weaning earlier than others.
    Once they have their initial 3-4 shots as pups they are vaccinated for life. No need to get annual boosters, its a money racket.
    The one year rabies is exact same as the 3 yr rabies, bit they charge you more for the 3 yr. Another money racket.

Thanks guy's, This hit my yard so fast an hard I was thanking about giving the older dogs a parvo shot just to do it. But on the other hand I was scared to because I thank I did wrong by giving the male pup's the shot after they'd been around the females.

We give 5 way at 4 weeks...7 way at 8 weeks..... 7 way at 12 weeks..... 8 way at 16 weeks and 8 way at year old. We do our own rabies too. Hogs don't care if the dog has a tag on or not.  Lol.
