If you took him to the park (or wherever), and he came in contact with the virus from another dog having it, then he could get it. If another person that had been looking for a puppy at the same time you were, came in contact with the virus, Monty could have gotten it. There are so many ways he could have gotten it, it's hard to blame the breeder entirely. I am not trying to stick up for the breeder, mainly because I don't even know where you got him. But you never know. Parvo is UGLY!!! If someone contact me (when I have pups for sale), and they tell me that their pup (or older dog) just died of Parvo, I flat out WILL NOT SELL THEM A PUP!!! Sorry about that, but I won't. I had one lady get real irriate with me when she told me her puppy just died from Parvo and I wouldn't sell her one. She said "It's MY money, why would you care?" I said "Because it's MY Puppy, and I DO CARE!!!" End of conversation.

If I were you, I would wait for at the very least 6 months before I even tried to get another dog. It's better if you wait for a year. I know it's hard, but please do yourself a favor and wait.


JMO, but I'm sticking with it!!

GREAT POST AND GREAT BREEDER HERE. I wish there was a drive thru clinic here on giving shots, by not having to go into the office where others have been with Parvo, etc. I heard they have this in some other states I definately would be willing to wait the six months.
