Several children volunteered to socialize the puppies I brought to the shows. There were several age groups both boys and girls who crawled in with the babies and held, loved, petted and taught them to stack. These kids were polite, kind hearted, and watchful that the babes had water and that I knew when there was a clean up needed. If these are the future of our breed then it falls into good hands. Thank you to the parents for raising these children so well and for sharing them with my babies.
