My breeder usually keeps her pups for three months at the least but usually 4 or 5 months before they go to their forever home. She does treat her pups with albon before they leave her and they are tested BEFORE they go to their forever home to be certain they are clear. She knows there is a possibility for coccidia but SHE takes the preventative measures. She does not expect her new moms to bear the burden. She has foresight . . . REAL foresight. THAT is a reasonsible breeder -- doing her job herself -- not subjecting a pup in transition to have another adjustment that is unneccesary. The pups do not leave sick.
