Thanks, that's useful. We got Elsa rather late at 11 weeks, she's 13 weeks now and trying to fit all the right stuff in!

I have noticed that owners that approach us with their dogs, when they mention how friendly they are, it means they aren't trained well. They are the ones that "over-run" my puppies and can't be separated from them. Their dogs don't listen or respond to any commands, and their owners are just thrilled at how "friendly" they are. Can I say UGH! Friendliness is admirable, but I want an owner who can handle their dog. I hate to have to intervene and get their dog away from my dogs. Socialized pets are those that are trained.
