goodness you sound like me worrying the dogs don't have enough socialization but by the sounds o it your doing a grand job my 3 Tara badger and honey have loads of mates they see on a regular bases as i think they need more than just each other.... there is muttley a staff who they see almost every night. sabre a gsd x collie they see twice a week and Norman a staff x rottie they see twice a week, Tia an english bull mastiff, pippin a jack Russell they see these every day and many more that are to many to mention as well as the one they meet on there various walks so yes they have a lot of doggy mate i don't think we need to worry but i think it just makes us good dog owners to!!

My 3 have quite a few friends really. They love to walk with other dogs.

There are he two husky boys from across the road Saff and Roca. We see them quite a lot and they socialised with mine when they were pups.

There are my sis in laws two springers - Lucy and Jerry. They love to play ball like Murf. And Quinn and Jerry love to have a bit of rough and tumble together.

Then there is Anna - my nans staffy x lab. We see her loads and she loves to play ball too. But she'll also have some rough and tumble with Quinn and Vienna.

Then there is Silas - gorgeous black GSD. Quinn met him for the first time last week and after his initial nervousness (Silas weights 50kg and is a very big dog!) he really liked him. Vienna has always loved Si lol.

Wolfies Luca and Storm. Vienna and Luca are very firm friends now although when they first met Vienna was desperate for Luca to play with her and Luca really didnt want to know! She was busy playing with Silas!

There is Milo the lab x who Vienna loves to play in the fields with.

There is Bella the Weiny who is also a fave friend of Viennas for a bit of frolicks in the fields.

Quinn has lots of friends at puppy class inc Nano the tiny Chi, Poppy the Merle Great Dane, Otto the mini schnauzer, Pepper the dally and many more lol.

And they make friends with most dogs they see on their walks. Sometimes i think they have more friends than i do! lol x

OK this might take a while LOL,

There is Kiska (husky) and Torfi (lasa Apso) my familys dogs.

Teal (working Cocker) & Whip (Whippet) my Farther in laws dogs.

Zac, Joe, Daisy (working Springers), Sue (lurcher pup 10 weeks), Jeff (Lurcher) & Charlie (whippet) my brother in laws dogs.

Dogs at the park:

Jack (JRTX) and Sally (xbreed) we see these about 2-3 times a week.

Duke (lab), Anne & Fred (cockers) again about 2-3 times a week.

Cracker (lurcher), Marley (lab X), Jed (terrier X), Dasiey (collie), Chip (min Poodle) every few weekends.

Then there are the few we meet only one or two times there is about 10 of them.

Mine have loads of friends, I think. I often walk them in a field where lots of people meet up to walk their dogs. Selkie and the older dogs all sit on the side lines grumbling like cantankerous old women at the state of the youth today, growliong at the puppys if they bash into them, Kismet and the puppies race about trying to bowl us all over or wrestle on the floor sounding like a pack of savage beasts, wile Pharaoh and the other 'chase me' types circle us.... We humans all stand sheepishly around talking doggy things, none of us know each others names or could tell you a thing about one another, generally only knowing 'you're baileys dad or Jess's Mum aren't you?'

Well so far Pepsi has a few friends :-

Morning walks

A Great Dane (5mths)

Oh and when i see my friend there are Gizmo ( gremlin lol ), Poppy (dobe i think, Rex ( hunting dog) and Trixi ( jack russel )

Obviously i see more when out, these are the ones i see most during the week

Monty doesn't have many mates as none of our friends have dogs.

The mates he does have are as follows:

Ellie - a Lakeland terrier and his bestest friend. Ellis belongs to Rich's parents so he sees her at least once a week. He's twice the size of her now and she's pushing on 9 years old but they adore each other. Will play for hours with Ellie.

Radar - a black lab we see at the rugby club. Love to chase each other round the pitch.

Billy - a springer spaniel that belongs to my best friends parents. Doesn't see very often though.

Aunty Bess - my sisters Staffy. She bought Bess down at Xmas when we first had Monty and Bess mothered him and taught him how to play nicely.

He had a few buddies at puppy class but we don't go anymore. Riff was his favourite there and was a greyhound I think.

I love to see him playing with other dogs so hopefully he'll acquire some more friends soon.

Arnies friends are:

Wilson (cos he has no choice ha)
Yogi - Leonberger
Shamus and Bella - Rotties
Teddy - Rott
Tess - Rott
Zak - Rott
Skye - Rott
Lily - Pom/JR Cross
Alfie - Jack Russell
Maddy - BDF
Jack - Labrador
Duke - Retreiver Rotty Cross
Blue - Staffy

Wilson:

Well he has adopted all Arnies friends too

Ours meet up regular with Queenwillows two, Dylan and Willow, and strangly enough, it is really funny to watch them greet each other too. We try not to say ''Dylan and Willow'' either as all three get very excited if we do and start looking for them.
During the week days over babbs Mill, we meet up with Rianha who's owner walks round with us, she is a Akita, and Duke who is a Rotti.
We also meet up with our neighbour Dave with Ki who is a Shar-pie (Skye's boyfriend) and he walks Babbs Mill with us too.

If it's the local park, we often walked round with a lady with 6 BC's and they love them, also a disabled chap with his 4 ESS, and with a chap and his JRT called Pete. Plus another guy who is always there with his two dogs (although they do have flea's ) still mine will insist they need to be included

The park behind us we meet regular with a guy who has a Rotti called Max, and his Mothers dog Lucy a Tibetian terrier. Plus sometimes Mike is over there with his Bull Mastiff Otis and his X GSD Boomer.

I think ours are ok with being socialised.

it would take me a week to list them all,

lol when I think about it, every dog they see is a possible friend for them, they have never reacted badly to any dog, though they have there regulars ones they meet all the time.

Ben's bessy mate is Ruby Scottish Terrier.
Libby and ESS (mad as a hatter)
Tess another ESS
Jess Jack Russel.
Ben, Labrador
two BC's Tilly and Bruce.
When we first got Ben, there was a crowd of dog walkers and there was one particular dog a Mastiff, who like nothing better than sucking Ben's doodarh Poor Ben he would just lie there all submissive. The Mastiff was called Riahanna!!!

Poppy, she just shoos everyone away, except Jess the Jack Russell and Tess the ESS.
