You can disagree all you want BUT if you were breeding in this day and age EVERY Vet would recommend that you take a preventive approach and deworm pups starting at 14 days. They know for a fact that round worms are transferred from the mother to the pups and why would anyone take the risk of their litters health by not doing as recommended by the latest research??? To do otherwise imo, is foolish. I know for a fact that my dogs eat things, therefore they are dewormed and since it isn't recommended to deworm a bitch with one month of breeding we have to assume that she can pass them to her pups. Therefore deworming the pups as a preventive.
It is like raising a baby (human) years ago, people use to put babies to bed with bottles..............now we know just how much damage that can do to the teeth. So people are advise not to do it.
Just because something was routine, acceptable and recommended 30 plus years ago, doesn't mean it applies today.
And if you didn't have round worms,...................you got lucky. Just the same as if you put your babies to bed and it didn't rot their teeth.............you got lucky.
Try Googling it..........or better yet, why not call every vet in the book in your area and get their opinion.

Just wanted to say I am young & up to date. I don't breed so i can't comment on that But as a pet owner I don't feel the need to pump my dog with chemical's Not every dog get's worm's & if they do I would re-evaluate where i am bringing my dog Or in Truffles mom case Take care of the flea's or whatever caused the worm's.
