I guess living as far from Mexico as I do, I'm surprised the ~Mexican~ puppy issue is a ~bigger~ problem than the basic issue of people failing to get puppies shots, no matter where they are from. Puppies bought or rescued from cardboard boxes in parking lots often have Parvo no matter where they come from. And Parvo is a brutal way to watch a puppy die.

Please, everyone, don't expose puppies to the world without their shots. Parvo is everywhere, not just Mexico.

Ping!

I'm a volunteer puppy trainer for a guide dog organization -- and out of fear of PARVO, we puppy raisers aren't allowed to put our puppies' paws on the ground anywhere (except inside our homes and on leash immediately outside), until two weeks after their THIRD parvo vaccination.

So we have carry the lil' critters around everywhere until they're 15 weeks. Gets pretty heavy!

Thanks Hair! I've got a house full of kids and dogs lately and don't have time for all the pings. Take care!
