I'm jealous. My hubby and I got four beagle pups two years ago from a "friend." Long story short,they all died from parvo and HE KNEW THEY HAD IT! We did EVERY thing possible to try to save them. It was the most saddest,devastating experience ever. We were going to train them to be our rabbit dogs. Anywho,will eventually get more. Once we get the Shepard to chill out!!!! Grrrrrr....I'm in no way wanting to offend you or sound insensitive....please please vaccinate. This guy,whom is no longer a friend,didn't vaccinate the parents. So even though we got them their first round of parvo vaccine,it didn't matter. They were already infected. They were doomed from birth. I'd never seen a dog suffer from that. My husband had. It was definitely a week full of sobbing.
They're extremely susceptible as youngins. Did you know a parent can be a silent carrier? Never show one sign and live a long life. So weird. I'm sorry listen to me rambling on. Hopefully not discouraging you. Just some people aren't aware. Hoping I've helped....maybe??? They are just precious my dear. So very happy for you.
You are absolutely right! No need to apologize. We have been raising puppies for years and are very strict about their shots. It's an awful thing to watch one go through that, especially if children are involved. I hope that when you do get more puppies that everything goes great and you have some wonderful experiences and memories.
