There was a news story here a few days ago. A man was caught trying to cross the border from Mexico into San Diego county. He had FIFTEEN! 8 week old poodle puppies. He was arrested and the dogs confiscated of course. All 15 of them were diagnosed with parvo! He even admitted he was going to sell them as christmas gifts. The reporter also warned the listeners not to buy puppies as gifts from random people on the street as most end up dying in a few days.
