Why are puppies under the age of 1 week a target for this virus? The CHV-1 virus multiplies best at 33 degrees C. Puppies hypothalamic thermoregulatory systems aren't fully developed until 2-3 weeks, so the temperatures that the puppy is raised in the first 1-2 weeks can help the virus survive or die.
