but dogs I KNOW are healthy are always good socialization/playmates for pups.
I agree with that statement. I think if we use some common sense, we can still socialize our puppies even if they haven't had all their shots. 3 out of 3 of my puppies were raised this way, and all three are healthy adult dogs that had no medical problems from all the people/other dogs they met.
Here's some sites to read up on about the importance of socialization towards raising a healthy and confident ADULT dog, so you don't just have to rely on trusting posters on this site you may not know:
