Take her to the vet. Puppies are renown for getting worms, no matter what breed. The vet will need a fecal sample of the puppy as to perform a fecal float to read for worm eggs. Whichever kind of worm/s she has, he'll give her a dewormer. Never go and diagnose it yourself because you can do more harm than help.

It's not only common for the breed, but common for ALL puppies. They get worms, from their mother (she doesn't need to have worms, to cause this). You can just get some dewormer from the veterinarian, and it should clear it all up within a matter of time.

All animals have worms. You should check with your vet to see which wormer is comaptable with your dog and don't forget although you may "worm" your dog it will not get them all. You should cosider heart worm meds for when it reaches an appropriate age to handle this med. Be sure to give it to you dog as often as you are prescribed to do so. Skipping a month or two could leave your dog worse off than when you started.

go to the vet get a fecal exam they will give you the right medicine for the worms the dog has. cost of an office visit. a fecal exam is about 12 dollars at the most and then the medicine.
I am not believe you haven't been worming it. all dogs gets worms. every summer my dog gets tape worms, because of the fleas.

Depends on the type of worm,if they're pin shaped or many other types garlic will kill them. If they're tape (like flattened rice ,flat ends) only medication will work but because it's a puppy see a vet.

ask your vet for a pill, one single pill clears all worms. If the vet does not carry that pill ask for Panacur. That kills all round worms, hookworms etc. Need to clear up the worms asap.

yes, it's common in most dog breeds when they're puppies. My dog had to get a shot at the vet.
