Kola did very well and especially likes his new pal "Oscar". He is much younger than the other puppies in the crowd, but knowing that Karelians can have aggressive tendencies toward other dogs, I weighed the risks / benefits between vaccination completion and socialization and decided socialization was more important.

Here are some useful links on the subject.
AVSAB Position Statement on Puppy Socialization
http://www.avsabonline.org/avsabonline/images/stories/Position_Statements/pup...

"To take full advantage of this early special learning period, many veterinarians recommend that new owners
take their puppies to puppy socialization classes, beginning at 8 to 9 weeks of age. At this age they should
have (and can be required to have) received a minimum of their first series of vaccines for protection against
infectious diseases."
