We just bought a 7 week old pure bred black lab puppy on October 4 from a breeder in Northern Minnesota. He was asking a decent price, but he was extremely strange. He lived on a farm and be bred labradors and yorkies. But all the dogs were in hiding. He said he had 12 adult labs that he bred, but they were all out of sight. He only brought out the puppies which was a litter of 10, there were 9 left. I made my choice and I started asking him questions about when the pup had his shots and when does he need to go to the vet next etc.. The breeder told me to leave and not take a dog- he said go home and think about it and you can come back if you want. I explained we want the dog, but we just need to know what the pup has had done. From here on the guy was just crazy but we ended up paying for the dog and got the heck off of his property. We got home by 5:30 pm. By 1:30'am the pup woke up and was having diarrhea. It continued numerous times, then he started throwing up clear liquid. He wouldn't eat. We thought maybe it was just nerves. By 11:00 he passed diarrhea with a large amount of blood. I immediately called our vet that we use and he told me to rush the pup in. Found out the poor thing had parvo. I had never even heard of this. Vet explained it to me. Said it was the levels he had seen on a test and there was still 3 minutes to go yet on the test. We were so broken hearted. We got scammed!! That breedder knew exactly what he was doing! I called the breeder before I brought the pup to the vet and be went crazy on the phone telling me not to bring him to the vet, that he will come and pick up the pup.'and I kep telling him no he is our dog now, he is going to the vet. And he just got more and more angry and repeatedly told me not to bring him to the vet. But I did. So we had this poor little pup for only about 20 hours. And most of that time he was so sick. He could barely keep his eyes open. It broke our hearts. So now I'm doing this research to find out more about this deadly killer. Not only that but we want to get another lab puppy-'this time we will do our homework and we know we have to completely bleach everything. We already did the outside. I guess the only positive thing was on the inside of the house the pup was confined to smaller areas. Good luck to anyone who's baby gets this terrible illness.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Such a sad but comforting story.
