A truly sound dog with good nerves doesn't need socialization. Kappo is a
prime example.
We didn't "socialize" him, because he never needed it. Same with Quina,
Sound is sound, is sound.
Socializing is great if they need it...but with a dog of true "stands his
ground " character..it is
not necessary. Fun, but not necessary.
