If you get them both spayed/neutered around 6 months of age then you don't have to
worry about them mating or whatever. Females don't go into heat until usually 8 months
of age, if I'm thinking correctly (sorry, I have a male!) Also, I think spaying & neutering
your pets is the smart thing to do regardless.
Personally, if you can afford two, I think two are better than one! Dogs thrive off of
other dogs company and learn from each other. They definitely play a lot and keep
each other company which is nice. I think it'd be almost be easier with the house-
breaking because you get two done in one... and they can teach each other. If you
get a puppy, and then five years down the road get another pup... you go through all
that ALL over again!
The only negatives I've heard is that rather than getting attached to their human, they
get attached to each other. But not always.
I say go for two! |
