i typically deworm at 2 4 6 8 and 10 weeks..and never have worms when i follow those guidelines
In that case your adult dogs have worms and they should have been dewormed before your bred them. My puppies don't have worms. I had one buyer that said her puppy had worms, which I questioned since none of the rest of them had worms, so the next litter I wormed several times, and one of those buyers said their puppy had worms, which I also questioned since none of the others had worms.

The responsible thing to do would be to worm the adults, then have them tested before breeding, and keep them out of contact with other dogs and keep their run clean. Hard surfaces sanitized and poop picked up.

I do not buy from breeders who need to deworm their puppies.
