Archie and Willie are twins, and I still think getting them both was the best decision we made. I wouldn't have it any other way. Don't bother getting two of everything (except the obvious - leashes, etc.), since they will want to fight over the one. Mine have 4 Pipsqueak lions -- does that help? Nope.
Now as to whether having two puppies at the same time is any harder really depends on the puppies. I don't think anyone can say for certain. I guess I've had it easy reading about some of the issues others here have had with their puppies. Mine could qualify for sainthood compared to some other's pups. No way to know if that is a result of breeding, their temperament or somewhat related to the fact that I am retired so I am home with them during the day.
Mine are both extremely loving and attentive to all of their "people". The only issue they have is that they are very co-dependent, easy to understand since they have never been apart. Their trainer is trying to work on that.
But my experience is that simply watching the two of them together is just the best thing ever. So I'd also say, get the brother. |
