My opinion is that you should get the initial vaccs, including the one year boosters, unless your dog has issues. Titer once after that, because it does show that your dog had an immune response, so you hopefully will know that you have or do not have a non responder. Then only revaccs as required by law or as infrequently as you are comfortable with.

I do core puppy vaccs and 1 year boosters. I also do lepto because we have had cases of it yearly right in my area and it is one of the serovars that is covered by the vaccs, I titer at 2 years to make sure that my dogs have had an immune response and I give rabies every 3 years as required in my state. I give the other core vaccs every 6 years, because I’m not comfortable from what I have read with never giving them again.
