My girlfriend has three puppies to sell and I wanted to take two, but I’ve heard that sibling puppies get attached and do not create a good bond with their owners.

If it is true, would raising them separately work? As in she could raise one for a certain amount of time while I raise one?

It depends on the breed - the time that you have and the experience at raising puppies.

No good breeder actually sells two from the same litter together so what does that tell you.

Here’s some sites to read.

As you can see there are many professionals that would advise against it.

However, if you really know what you are doing, and if you have the time to understand about training separately and not just leaving them to play together all the time then it certainly can be done. A friend of mine has kept 5 from a litter and is showing them all at just a year old. But a lot of people make a complete mess of it and end up rehoming one.

I recently took in a mother and her six pitbull puppies from someone who could not care for them. Looking for advice on what to do since I’ve never raised puppies before. I already have information about vaccinations and deworming. They’re only 2 wks but I’m not sure if I should be doing anything extra to help socialize them and deal with behavioral issues since they’re pitbulls. Also, the mom is very thin. I have her on puppy food but not sure if I should be giving her anything extra. I appreciate any and all advice!

Well they should be dewormed at 2,4,6,8 and 10 weeks. You will need to contact a vet for this, and 6 weeks old they will be ready for their first vaccination.

Do not bring them around unvaccinated dogs… Mother should be on high calorie diet(puppy food) as well.
Here is a site that should help. Sorry I would help more but I have two toddlers hanging off the laptop lol.

Good Luck,

CPI Protection Dog Training.mov

This video shows protection dog training at CPI (Canine Protection International). More accurately, it demonstrates the results of CPI’s protection dog training program. In the video you will see complete off-leash control. So much so that in the beginning of the video our training staff (in this case Omri) is willing to serve as decoys without protection. This in spite of the fact that Jet, the Belgian Malinois in the video, is not wearing any collar.

The rest of the video involves the decoy (Jay) with a bite suit on doing his best to evade and fight off Jet’s attack. Notice regardless of what happens Jet continues to fight. If you consistently fight a dog like this their performance will begin to decrease over time. This level of fighting is the result of teaching advanced fighting skills to prepare the dog for this type of encounter. Naturally this represent a tremendous amount of labor, as well as our unique approach to teaching advanced fighting skills.

Dog owners may send their dogs to CPI for training in any of our protection dog training programs. We work with most working breeds including German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois. CPI also sells fully trained adult German Shepherds as well as imported puppies. As raising a puppy to be a protection dog is not the same as raising your average pet CPI also has special dog training programs for puppies.

Raising two puppies? Why do people so BAD IDEA?

Hi, I have a 3 1/2 month old purebreed husky that I had first for a month and was in the middle of training it to a level I like when I came across great opp. to get a chocolate lab, well I had to get it because I wanted a playmate for my husky. The lab is 5 1/2 months purebreed, the previous owners didnt do much training because it doesnt listen well and has bad habits. I have been reading that it is bad to raise two puppies at a time and if you do then have them seperated. Why do people frown so bad on two puppies at once? I mean if you do it right can there be results? I think of myself as a good leader to my dogs and my husky is very willful and I am almost done breaking that. I have taught the lab to sit in one day but she has a jumping problem.

Heres my main question if I train the dogs right, TOGETHER, not having them seperated, can it turn out well? I break up fights, have seperate bowls, and spend a good amount of time with them BOTH. They are both females, all current shots, and potty trained. I just want someone to give me success stories that they had because all I find is people saying HARD WORK or DONT DO IT. I just dont want to give the lab away. Thanks.
Thanks guys, makes valid points.

Well I’m in the same predicament. Only I have two male pitbulls. I had a golden retriever which is close to the problems and attitudes of ur lab. Never had a husky but I am going to school for vet tech and have always been interested in dogs. Number 1: ppl say its a bad idea because of the amount of tension and stress it causes. U r doin right by separating them and giving each their own time. Number two: don’t let them even begin to fight because it will cause competition and slight domination in one if your dogs. Which at sum point, the dominant dog might test u or the one getting bullied will lash out on the other one. Kinda like Wat ppl do wen being bullied. Number three: research each breed. Labs r natural hunters and retrievers. They tend to be more hyper and smell out where the garbage is, where ur shoes r, etc. They don’t really stop chewing till they r two. Find games that let het natural instincts take hold. She will be more attentive and eager to learn and play. The husky, I know they r workers and also very hyper. U have to walk them to burn out their energy. Once u master each dogs bad habits then it will be ok to train them to do something together. The best thing about ur situation is u have two similar dogs that can relate to each other with playing and training. Luckily u didn’t get a poodle and a husky. Lol. Also, the success stories I heard have been from professional trainers and also regular ppl. U have to give each dog confidence and comfort. They each have to know u r the alpha and they r equal.

Video iWoofs 12 Resources for Breeders

Connie thinks there should be more books out there which show breeders how they can provide the best possible upbringing for their puppies. We couldn’t agree more. Breeders, like owners, can benefit from clear instructions regarding not only what needs to be done, but exactly how to do it. Some breeders assume that it would take too much time to housetrain and chewtoy train their puppies, while also socialiazing them and introducing them to basic obedience. In fact, it’s very easy and will save lots of time and energy in the long run. If you’re a breeder interested in putting together a video about raising puppies the right way, we’d love to hear from you.
