Would there happen to be a guide to which shots and vaccines to give to a puppy?
I want to get a puppy, but I'm not sure what shots she or he will need from 8 weeks onward.
The vet will know which shots your puppy needs, you're not going to come in with a list.
All puppies will need multiple doses of the D2APPL/others, then rabies at about 6 months.
Depending on where you live other vaccines may be mandatory or highly recommended, like leptospirosis. Bordetella is also highly recommended.
Just google "puppy vaccination schedule".
Distemper series and rabies are considered core. Lyme is good if you plan to go camping or hunting with your dog, or otherwise expose them to areas with a lot of ticks, even if you use flea/tick repellant. Bordetella is for kennel cough and should be given to dogs that will be going to dog parks, kennels, etc. - areas with lots of other dogs. Most boarding facilities and daycares require it. Lepto prevents leptospirosis, which is a very shitty zoonotic disease acquired by drinking water contaminated by infected wildlife - so another "outdoorsy" dog vaccine.
If I were to crop my doberman's ears should it be before their vaccines or after

Why would you even want to do this to your dog? It looks dumb.

I like the style of it. Makes the doberman more distinct from other dogs.

So you're going to put your dog through some serious painful surgery because you like the style of it?

Having all its legs amputated will make it look distinct too, are you going to do that?
