How to keep my dog at peak condition?

I'm getting an Aussie shepherd. How can I keep it at it's peak of healthiness. Between shots, home prevention, training, socialization, exams, grooming etc etc. I'm looking to keep this as a reference and am looking for ANYTHING I need to know. Please be thorough. And for shots, I'm in Pennsylvania. Just putting it in there b/c shots can differ from state to state. Thx
