When Should You Vaccinate Your Puppy?

A common question about puppies is vaccinating puppies.
Real quick, generally speaking, I go on the recommended vaccine protocol of the manufacturer.
Now, a lot of people will question that because you think, "Oh, they're just trying to sell me more vaccines," but there is some method to the madness, okay? It's my belief, too, that these dogs that you vaccinate later, when they're a little bit older, respond better to the vaccine.
The reason why is because their immune system gets more competent. The way the immune system works is that after the first shot, it's kind of reading. It's reading the antigen you inject into the pet. The second shot really brings out the response.
It's ideal to give two shots, minimally, minimally, minimally. Some people forget, some things happen, but that's minimal.
The older you can wait, the better. Now the manufacturer's going to tell you 6, 9, 12, and 16 weeks, or something like that, and that's okay; but I've found that if you're trying to choose between vaccinating too much and doing the minimalist approach, then if you can push it back, and you can have your dog avoid other dogs at all cost until some of the vaccines are given, that it's better to wait longer and you have to give two. That's the best protocol.
