I have an 8 month lab/German Shepherd mix. I was told she got her first round of shots and was wondering seeing what else she will need.

Find out which vet gave her the vaccinations and have your vet ask for her vet records. If the breeder vaccinated the dog, then I suggest you consult with your veterinarian on whether you should start anew, as you have no proof that the vaccinations were done correctly at the prescribed intervals and that the vaccine was properly cooled at all times before being used. Unfortunately I see a lot of parvo-dogs who allegedly were vaccinated by their breeders..... It also may be a good idea just to have her examined so you know that she is indeed healthy and has no issues.
