Any way you look at it, it's a chancy proposition. Someone has to extend trust first. I try but I am very scared at exposing my babies to anything further. My ex-mentor sold me 3 dogs but she had moved from her home to a farm. My dogs came down with coccidia and I lost several. Especially some puppies that also had low blood sugar. I know there are other ways they could have gotten coccidia but it was too coincidental that there were chickens on that farm and that my dogs suddenly got sick.
