Thank you all for your comments. To the breeder that said they won't sell to a home with recent Parvo: Sounds like you are a Great Breeder and a true loving person!!! I wish I purchased from you. My breeder seemed nice but not Parvo savy at all. Please share your thoughts after reading what I have learned. try to have an open mind about the parvo waiting period, from what 3 different vets had say, there is a lot of confusion and misinformation about the waiting period. I am open to all your thoughts.

-----
I have educated myself like crazy on this parvo thing and have called numerous vets, hopitals, hours online researching and what I have come up with is this. (And trust me, I have some selfish ways, but no way am i going to expose a new baby to Parvo and put another dog through what monty went through again.)

they majority say 1 to 2 months if you bleach everything, if you do not bleach at all, they say 6 months. Parvo does not survie as long indoors as it does out doors due to lack of mosture, etc.

We bleached everything and I mean everything. In addition to the recent bleaching, in 4 to 5 weeks, we are going to Bleach everything a second time and have the rugs professionally clean with bleach (we have white rugs) for the second time.

I would like to pass on a website that a champion papillion breeder turned me on to. The papillion breeder is a true intellect especially when it comes to dogs and I trust her and respect her, you all would too if you knew her... she is truly one of your peeps. This article helped me make my decision to consider brining in a puppy in two months instead of 6 months along with all 3 vets and 2 hospitals who said 1 to 2 months is ok with bleaching, and if no bleaching... at least 6 months. Hell, we still don't know if it was Parvo!! But don't worry, I am not taking my chances.

try this link first, http://www.showpapillons.com/beware.htmif it does not bring you to the Parvo section, go to

www.showpapillons.com click on the big picture of the dog to enter and then click on the purple Parvo Virus link on the right hand side. Very very interesting.

I think I am going to bring this article to the next breeder, hoping that the puppy is young enough too start receiving this particular vaccine. We are hoping to pick out a dog that is still too young to bring home so that we can catch it in time to make sure they get this particular vaccine. I will offer to pay more for it if necessary. If we didn't have a recent parvo experience, I would still want to have this vaccine for mainly peace of mind. I have a feeling that my breeders vet is not up on the best vacinnes... hell, he sent an infected dog home to a house with new born puppies!!! He should have kept Monty in the hospital. Got to go, getting angry again.

I love you guys!! thanks again for your help.
