I'm getting a pup from a breeder and just found out the pups have diarrhea & one pup died. Should I be worried about getting a puppy from this litter?

First, I have read your advice for hours and I have purchased a number of your DVDs and equipment. Your site is beyond impressive.



In doing all my research on working dogs/pup selection, I felt like I found a solid breeder that had a certain pair whose litter would have the potential I desired.



The litter was born in October and I've been investing and preparing for my pup's arrival. Unfortunately, I was just informed by the breeder that the litter as a whole developed a case of diarrhea and their vet provided medication. I was then told they lost the most promising male (breeder's opinion), but the other pups seemed to be coming out of the sickness.



Should I be worried about the sickness and loss of a pup and be staying away from this litter? What's the largest number of promising pups you've had in a litter, is there still hope that I will have a promising male to choose from? That's if I can feel comfortable after what has happened to the litter.



Thank you
