Coccidiosis is pretty serious as I remember. Just wondering.

I think they are good breeders. Everything looked good when we were there. They have about 10 dogs and they treat them as family not just locked in a kennel all day. I was actually impressed with them but pup just seems to keep having probluems. Now im just starting to wonder is it just him or all their pups.

Not "normal" exactly. I'd be pretty horrified if my dogs had all those parasites. =P But it mostly just means he's getting into too much stuff and eating things he shouldn't be. Not that there's really anything wrong with him. Any dog that drinks out of standing water could get giardia, any dog that hunts rodents or has fleas could get tape worms, and coccidia is pretty common in puppies.
I would tend to maybe not think very highly of a breeder that sends a pup home with all these parasites, but it doesn't mean he's always going to have problems like this.

he stays in our apartment all the time and only goes out for potty time or walks right now. when i called the breeder about the giardia she other pups didnt have it but i had only had him 3 days when i took him to vet. she said her vet checked them on friday and said they didnt have it and i took him on monday after we got him and test results came back on wendsday and they said he had it. so its all just weird to us.
