New 13-month puppy, no shot records. Can a vet check his vaccines?

Question

Okay so I’m buying a puppy off of this lady she said he’s had shots but her friend gave them to him so she doesn’t have shot records, I was wondering if I could take him to a clinic to see if he has had his shots? He’s only 13 months. Pet's info: Dog | American Staffordshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 29 days old | 20 lbs

I would suspect Reese hasn't had his vaccines, and vets do not recognize home given vaccines as well. I would take him into a clinic to start his vaccine schedule. In addition, if he's 13 months, he should have had his rabies vaccines long ago, and that cannot be given at home. That can only be given by a vet, and there would be a record of it. Rabies is required by law. I hope this helps.
