It's risky getting a new pup when you have had parvo in your home.
Parvo can actually live for years in your soil so you will need to bleach just about everything, including your grass.
Unfortunately this also means an untimely death for your lawn, but it's the only way to be sure you have covered everything.
Even fully immunised dogs can contract parvo, the shots just make them more likely to be resistant to the virus. A young puppy is even more at risk.
Have you considered adopting an older puppy or even an adult from a shelter? An older fully vaccinated dog would be a safer option. And you don't have to go through that horrible biting, toilet training, disobedient puppy stage! Give me an adult dog over a puppy any day!
