We have a dog who had parvo and survive. He had a few puppies and we are trying to het one, but we dont know if we should do it the new puppy only has had his first set of shots. We live on a different place from when my dog had the parvo, will it be ok to bring the new puppy home? As he is his son will he be stronger against parvo

Yes it will be safe to bring it home if you keep up with the vaccinations. Your puppy will not be any more immune to parvo because the sire had parvo. But if the puppy gets his parvo vaccinations then it will be protected against parvo.
