I would really take another look at who I was buying from. A breeder that is over crowding and does not have the most sanitary of conditions would tend to have "kennel cough" problems. If that is the case there could be other more serious problems going on at that breeding facility as well. Things like possible bad breeding practices and poor quality breeding stock not to mention possible genetic disorders.

I know it is not the puppy's fault but when you are choosing a pet that could be a family member for years to come it is imperative to make the best choice for your sake and for the sake of the pet.
