If you don't think you can commit to that (and trust me, it's a HUGE commitment) then return the second pup before it becomes a real problem. http://www.caninedevelopment.com/Sibling.htm http://www.doglistener.co.uk/choosing/siblings.shtml Also, having a male and a female, you will need to have them both spayed/neutered very soon, much sooner than you would need to if you had just one puppy. You definitely don't want your puppies to end up having puppies!<br><b>References : </b><br> It IS literally twice the work and if you don’t spend [at least] twice the time and effort training them then they will bond more closely with each other than with you.

Also, having a male and a female, you will need to have them both spayed/neutered very soon, much sooner than you would need to if you had just one puppy. You definitely don’t want your puppies to end up having puppies!

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:06:59 +0000 http://mtolympusmastiffs.com/raising-puppies/raising-2-puppies-different-litters#comment-12573 Welcome to my world! I have two dogs that are only 2 months apart, and we got them 2 months apart from each other. It was kind of fun watching them grow up (even though they are still only 7 and 9 months old) but they are inseperable. It's like they know that they're close in age, and they choose to play with each other, even though we have 4 dogs total. It was easier to house train, too, because we took them both outside at the same time, and they kind of taught each other things.<br><b>References : </b><br> Welcome to my world!

Susan Garrett suggests that you do not allow the pups to interact together for extended periods of time until the pups prove to you that they are more loyal to the person then to each other. Raising two puppies seems to be more than twice the work. Believe me, I've done it. Its tough.<br><b>References : </b><br> The trick is making yourself more valuable than the other dog.
