He said to be wise and test any new dogs who come in for breeding, buying stock etc...as to the dog parks, he knows me and mine do not go to dog parks...the sickest any of mine got was from a local meeting at a park..never again. He is not in favor of boarding kennels for many reasons.
As to strange dogs coming in the yard and leaving urine..he was much more concerned about parasites being left..fleas, hook worms, parvo etc...BUT he said we need to be wise and the best route is to keep all strange dogs away from our own..in the yards and any place.
Right now he is seeing parvo..a new strain cropping up and that is a big concern.
Interested to hear more about this subject. | Thanks for the information.
