Nicolette.....we bring WATER...thats the most important...we each bring about a gallon each and just keep filling up bowls as we see it needed. (bowls already there) A towels is good for Panzer if he likes to lay in the wet mud made from the water bowls spilling like our pups do, but it is mostly just dry dirt. Don't bring cookies...I am sure you know this but I brought them the first time i ever went and dogs were attacking my bag and one ate all the cookies before I could get him out. Other than that, nothing major..just cameras..and water for ourselves.
About Panzer...don't worry too much about him being so submissive and therefore getting beat up. For the most part, the dogs have been pretty cool there. Don't be afraid to break anything up if you don't like how a dog is playing with yours, even if it is one of the boxers. You have a young little guy!! For the most part, we haven't had any major probs there. Usually if one of our boxers and another dog get into it, we redirect the attention by calling over another boxer for our dog to play with and to get the other dog(a random person's dog) away. Mostly the dogs work it out and there aren't any probs. I understand your concern though. Ava is so passive and submissive and it scares me a bit when another dog wants to play with her really rough. But we all look out for each others pups and everything is usually fine. The dogs have a blast!

So sorry this ended up being so long..just wanted to answer everyone's questions
Danica and Ava
). I'm not sure if the submissiveness was due him being low on energy and being hot... or it's a developing personality thing. I hate to see him get beat up by bullies and owners who do nothing about it.
