I have bought two Boston Terrier puppies from Daffanie Sullivan (Livingston, LA). One of the puppies has been diagnosed with parvovirus 15 hours after arrival, and the second one - just a few days later. As you know, the minimum incubation period for parvo is 3-4 days, so the disease was contracted at the Daffanie Sullivan's kennel. It is very expensive to treat, and outcome is always uncertain. It is heartbreaking to see your new puppies suffer, and not know if they are going to make it or not.
The parvovirus can live in the environment for months and even years, so the Sullivan's Boston Terriers should be closed, disinfected, and kept closed for at least 6 months, before healthy puppies can be raised there.
