I agree when we go to a show its about the dog, we do not go out to eat with everyone we get something and hang out with the dogs.
So it is 100% fun time for our dogs.
I know some people have gotten upset because we didn't go hang out with the people we just feel its about our dogs.

And that is more fun time for them.
We start puppy classes at about 5 months on going out to a real puppy class. We also have puppy class here in the yard in the spring and summer with our hopefuls. All of the socialization is so important.
