The pup that is friendly and outgoing now may be the shyest of the pups at 8 weeks. The shy loving pup can turn into the most dominate of the little critters.
You sound like you have most of the bases covered. Bleach is the only thing that will kill parvo. The breeders I know who allow visits follow sinilar precautions. No visits to other breeders first. No visits to parks/vet office/pet stores anywhere that could have been walked on by a sick dog. They dip the soles of shoes in bleach before entering the house (or taking off shoes). for socialization, they have trusted friends come over to interact with the pups.
Thry also advise the owners that when the pups DO go home not to let them walk on unknown surfaces until they have all their shots. Especially the vets office floor!
