Parvo :(

Bess's puppies were exposed to the parvo virus. According to our veterinarian, this virus threatens puppies, but properly vaccinated dogs are not affected by it. Our puppies contracted parvo during the critical stage between 4 weeks and 6 weeks, when the mother's antibodies wear off, but it is still too early to vaccinate. We did everything our veterinarian told us to do, but we lost two of the puppies. This has been very difficult for those who were expecting these puppies, and it has been very difficult for our family as well. We are no longer breeding from here, as we do not want any more puppies exposed to the parvo virus, which can stay in the environment for a few years.
We would like to thank all who have provided loving homes for our puppies, we will miss working with these sweet dogs, and all of you good people. We still appreciate hearing how our past puppies are doing, and getting updates.
We are in the process of finding someone to take our adult dogs. When we accomplish this we will post their contact information for future litters.
