Really want to let Finn play with both ND and also the GSP, as well as multiple different friends' labs

I think 10-12 weeks is when they can start hanging out with other dogs

when they are young, try and introduce them to friendly dogs around their size. At that age, one wrong situation with another dog and the puppy will be scared of dogs and might be reactive as its older. You want to expose to other dogs, but you want to either A. not introduce them to other dogs, just observe. Or B. only allow the puppy to play with dogs its size, or puppies

Smallest other dog that we know is ND who is not very well trained, and slightly larger lab puppy from our friend who is much better trained

We don't know any non-friendly dogs
Our neighbors have a very chill older lab that would be much larger than a puppy
Other friends have a french bulldog but a puppy might play too rough for him, he's kinda old

I was about to ask what you did with Deacon but realized that you didn't have him as a puppy
