I have bred for 32 years..of course I still learn new things all the time...one thing I know is, a breeder friendly vet is so important to you. Wouldn't it make sense to you that I would have run into all these parasite and worm problems with the numbers I have had from time to time. I have had very few of these problems. My Yorkies are not cleaner or my kennel, I am sure. Coccidia,worms and parasites are common in groups, but I have gone years without any problems. I do not mean to sound like a snob breeder, my dogs are no different or healthier etc....what I want to relay is, I had a great vet who helped me get to the root of the problems instead of mega dosing litters right and left.
I know many breeders will not agree with me,but I do not allow my pups on grass or dirt. Before I moved to Florida I had decking or concrete..and the areas were washed down weekly. I do not like dogs on dirt...had too many problems. Hopefully, this is a one time problem..you certainly sound on top of it..best to luck.
