Maybe Parvo isn't as much of a problem as it is here in the US?

I know of too many cases here where older puppies (over 6 months) got Parvo after receiving all their shots. In all the cases the vaccinations were started too early and the puppies still had immunities from nursing so they didn't take.

When shots are given too early, the last round is given too soon also and the owner may mistakenly believe her puppy is fully protected.
