(i sold two sisters to one lady) she seems like a loving mother with two kids, but i'm still a little worried now after hearing this rule of thumb today for the very first time. should i give her AKC limited registration?
i definitely need some clarity.
Two intact females will fight as will two intact males. We've had members with intact females fighting so viciously they drew blood. In one case a Yorkie was killed. I would definitely sell with a spay/neuter agreement.

I would also be extra careful in screening anyone who wanted to buy two puppies. Raising two puppies at the same time is a lot of work. They needs lots of separate training plus housebreaking two is very challenging. It's important that the new owners are prepared for the work involved.

Here's a good article:
