Default (Bordetella) - How contagious is it?

Hi,

does anyone here have had some experience with this cough? Yesterday I brought my yorkie over to my friend's house who has a Boxer with Canine Cough (Bordetella). The boxer has been on anti biotics and hasn't cough since and Monday and is recovering quite well.

But my friend freaked out and forgot to tell me and said that it's very contagious and that her dog the Boxer is still highly contagious.

They were only in the for about 1.5 hrs and the Boxer went up and sniff mine couple times but that was it. They just sat in the same room for that short amount of time until she told me and I took him out to my car right away. So do you guys know if that short time was enough to my Benny to get (Bordetella)? I hope not....
