ADDING A SISTER PUPPY

I have the chance to add the sister of the male I just got. They are 8 weeks old. I love my male and am sure I would love to have 2 but am concerned about them getting along. Any one with any experience at this?

Hi,

It's been my experience that two of different genders get along the best so I'm sure you will have no difficulty. The females, again in my experience always become the Alpha's of the household with the males following their leads. Ah if that were only the case in most households...couldn't resist! :D
They should get along fine - however - raising 2 puppies of the same age at the same time can be very difficult (VERY, VERY DIFFICULT!). I've done it - but I would not do it again! JMHO.

They tend to form a bond to each other - rather than to you. Training is also very tough - it will require alot MORE time and patience than is already required to raise just one pup!
