The socializing is not such an issue for me because my very good friend and next door neighbor has two dogs and I see her almost every day. Her mother lives 4 houses away from us and she also has 2 dogs. I see them so much I know that my dog will be well socialized. If I didn't see her so often I would really be worried about that. I know the breeder is worried about it also because she really loves her dogs and stays in their lives after they come home with us. I will make sure she will be able to see her birth mother also. I do want to do the best thing for her...I think a second thought is always worth it!
