My boy and girl puppies are 16 weeks old and they are littermates. I've only had them for two weeks. They are very sweet and good natured, they love to play and then they cuddle up and go to sleep. However, sometimes I do have to wonder what I've gotten myself into. It is a lot of work to housebreak and train 2 at the same time. You have to figure, housebreaking x 2, chewing issues x 2, vet visits x 2, etc. Also, since they have each other I sometimes wonder if we humans are just kind of superfluous because they don't act like they "need" us as much as a single puppy might. Again, I've only had them for two weeks so maybe it just takes longer for them to bond with their humans since they have each other. If you do decide to get them both just make sure you are prepared and committed to the idea. Hope that helps!
