Actually, the breeder should have told you this. Your pup should be kept to it's own backyard & not put on the ground outside of your home or yard where other dogs have access to until your pup is Fully vaccinated. I was a vet tech for many yrs & I can't tell you how many pups are lost to Parvo & other canine diseases from this very thing. If you have any questions on this topic, Please call your vet to confirm. Just FYI, Parvo can live a full year in your lawn, this means if a dog with Parvo has relieved itself on your lawn the virus can still be very active & your pup is at huge risk of getting any disease/virus until it is fully vaccinated.
