Ernie,
this behavior in a puppy is pretty common and could be worms (we fought them for about a year of and on, but I lived in an appt complex with lots of dogs and most people wouldn't pick up after their pets) which means an infected animal can transfer through their droppings

parvo is far less common and a very serious issue- leading to death (online research has lots of info on this)

the best option would be to take your dogy to a vet... there are so many possiblities to what ills him

I drive to Cumming to go to a vet $16/visit (about 30mins north of Atl; not on the west side of Atl) but, I think for now you want to take him wherever asap

but eventually, when you're at the petsuper market and ask other dog owners where they go; you'll get a good mix of answers and before you go, call up the office, or go in for a visit- just to check out the place
you should feel very comfortable with your vet and clinic
yes i did a research and thats why i got more concern about it in my 8 years owning dogs i never had this problem. but even though its gonna put a dent in my wallet hes going to the vet tommorrow.

he also has all his shots up top date . i really dont think its parvo because hes not showing other systems of parvo, but im not a vet LoL.

I also read that this could be because of his anciety(spl?). new sorroundings and what not .
the only thing that gets me it that he doesnt seem to be sick he run jumps play liek nothing wrong

THANK U c boz, you been extremly helpfull on a my questions here and other threads,
