Boosters are given 3-4 weeks after the initial vaccines. Find out at what age the breeder started vaccines (I am assuming she started at 6 weeks of age) and count 3 weeks from there.
In the mean time it would be in your best interest to have your little guy get a full exam and fecal exam (meaning, bring a sample of his feces to the vet for a fecal floatation to check for parasites) as soon as you can.
He will not be ready for the Rabies vaccine until he is 12 weeks old. Good luck with your new bundle!

You need to know when the breeder gave the first one. Then, consult with your Veterinarian regarding the schedule and how many vaccinations are left to get as well as when will the pup need to get it's rabies vaccination. You will want to have the pup checked for worms and just have your Vet give the pup a general physical.
Once the puppy has all his vaccinations, it will be a year when he will need a booster. Depending on the laws of your state how often the dog would need the rabies vaccination.
Actually, I don't even start the puppy vaccinations until the pups are 8 weeks old. Also, my puppies do not leave my home for a new home until they are at least, 10 weeks old and preferably, 12 weeks. This puppy is a bit young to be removed from it's mother and litter mates.

If they were given at 7 weeks then the second set would be at 11 weeks and at 15 weeks..then no more for a year from the last set with the exception of rabies which should be given at 20 weeks or older.

Yes, you should ALWAYS take a new pup or kitten to the vet for a check-up after getting it. You never can tall what will be detected, so to be covered under most puppy lemon laws, you need to know ASAP.
The vet will fill you in on the vaccine protocol that they advise, along with worming and spay/neuter info.

I would contact your local vet and have a "good health check exam" done on your puppy and your vet will put him on a schedule to be sure he stays healthy and happy.
Many blessings, Patti

one week after his first, ideally you should have not taken him away from his mother until at least 8 weeks minimum
