Meetups

I would like to think that everyone knows what a "meetup" is, but I know not everyone does. Meetup.com is an online resource where people can organize a group for people who love something in common. Meetup has become huge and is home to hundreds of breed specific dogs "Meetups" across the globe.

Meetups are a great place to meet a breed you may be considering as an addition to your home, a good place to help socialize your non-aggressive dog who just needs to learn to have fun with other dogs, and also a great place to see if your current breed interacts with a breed you are thinking of getting. Remember that the key to a well balanced dog is proper socialization that has really been worked on consistently since puppy-hood.

Whatever the case... You have to see what one is like. They are addicting, and your pooch will be pooped for the rest of the day after their fun play time with others like themselves.

How to get started: Choose the group closest to you for your breed and join the group!
Don't see one anywhere near you? .. start one; organizers pay a small fee to have their group site, but the cost is worth it once you attend one.
