Even a dog vaccinated against parvo....can catch parvo. A friend's two dobermans did. The yard was affected with it and his dogs came down with the disease. One worse than the other. He had to spray the entire yard down with bleach.
That aside...more than one of our city dog parks has been closed after it was discovered they were contaminated with parvo. The only requirement to use the park is proof of rabies. Nothing else.
My dogs are only socialized with other dogs whose histories I know.
I wouldn't take any puppy anywhere I wasn't certain of what dog had been there before.
