Even when evaluated to its maximum (two days of age), immunoglobulins concentrations or specific antibody titers acquired by the puppy after colostrum intake remain lower than in the adult dog, reaching between 50 and 77% of the maternal level (Mila et al., 2014a; Gillespie et al., 1958) . In case of free suckling (uncontrolled by the breeder), quality of PIT is strongly variable among litters, but also among puppies from the same litter, both evaluated via serum IgG concentration (general immunity) and via CPV2-specific antibody titer (specific immunity; Fig. 2 ) (Mila et al., 2014b) .	./cache/cord-259182-2d5yedn2.txt	./txt/cord-259182-2d5yedn2.txt
