Thank you all...
I spoke with my vet about taking her camping at such an early age, and the dangers of Parvo, ticks, flees etc...he said that as long as I stay on top of her shots and not go to over populated places where other pets have been things should be just fine. He also recommended that I pick up Advanatage for them. We are camping on a private lot, where other dogs haven't frequented very much not in some huge over populated camp ground.

I have done so much research on Parvo that I became a little too obsessive compulsive about it with Dexter when he came home. We had a mini dachsund pass away from Parvo because we were ignorant new owners. Before we got Dexter I was told by a Vet that he would have NO chance of survival being in an exposed house even if the proper precautions had been taken (bleaching the house inside and out/which I did twice). Well to me that wasn't the correct answer from the research I'd done, so I continued interviewing new vets. Most Vets I went too thought I was nuts because I wanted to interview a Vet for a "DOG!", as you would for a child. The last Vet I interviewed is actually a team of Vets and they are WONDERFUL!! They praised me for doing the research that I was doing instead of thinking I was nuts.

Ok now that I have written a book, I will keep you all posted!
Thanks again!
