I have two pups together. This is the second time I have taken litter mates and the reason being it worked so well first time around. I find they take to another dog in the house easier the younger they are. I have older dogs too and it takes a bit of settling in time when a new member is introduced. Pups just accept the new one no question. I have not found toilet training more difficult with two. They are 5 1/2 months and both use pee pads when they cant get outside or will go outside when I take them. I use the command ~"toilet " when we are out and they both squat down and pee or poo is so cute. Im not saying they are perfect at times one or other has and accident but that does not mean the other then does it too. So I would say if you can afford it then go for is now. It takes the same time to toilet two pups as one. The benefits are that they are great company for each other. I have older dogs but they are big dogs and dont want to mess around with the pups (just as well they are about 40-50 lbs) the girls chase each other round the house and play tug together then settle down to snuggle up to sleep at night. Yes I said girls, they are same sex from the same litter as where my other two yorkie x border terriers. I have put a pic on to show you them together. Good luck with your decision.
