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...

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 :)

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.
