My puppies were born October 23 2017. They had their first shots at 6 ks and 4 days old, on November 7th. What is the soonest I can give them their next shots which includes parvo. I was hoping to adopt them out at 8 wks old Is it possible for them to have their 2ed shots at 8 wks old? The mother is walker hound, lab and pit. The father is St. Bernard and lab. Thank you.

They are adorable! I would recommend to have their second set of shot 3 weeks after their first set so at 9 weeks old. If you adopt them out before, I would just tell the owners they are due for shots st 9 weeks old. I hope this helps.
