All dogs need to be inoculated against rabies. It is required by law. Rabies is nearly always a fatal disease. Just read the classic, Ol’Yeller, to understand about the tragedy of rabies. Other basic inoculations guard against Parvo and Distemper. A Bordatella (kennel cough) vaccination may be required if you board your dog. Distemper is still a killer of many puppies and hepatitis and parainfluenza are concerns as well. Since Leptospirosis, Coronavirus, and lymes disease vaccines are controversial, your vet will tell you if they are recommended in your locale.
