I don't know what gave you the impression that I'm poor and unable to provide. I'm smart enough to know that animals, like children require time and money. This is the moms 4th and last litter. All healthy pups, I even met pups from the first litter. What I'm asking is, is it safe? I have had multiple dogs in my life time; but never 2 puppies from different litters at the same age. |
I don't think that's how she meant it at all, I kinda think you're taking her the wrong way. You're asking for our advice about taking on 2 puppies and that's all she's giving you: advice and knowledge about the situation that you may/may not be aware of- we have no way of knowing, so we put it out there for you...
Is this pup the same age as the 6 week old? If so, then you're definitely doubling your work load. Puppies are already so much work, then you add in young puppies and then you double it and I know that I wouldn't be up to the challenge and I'm a full-time online student (so I'm always home). I personally would go with the 1 that you really have your heart set on, which sounded like Noni, and take him and give him the best start you can at life. Then in a year, once he's fully trained and things have settled, bring him a brother/sister. That's just my personal thought, but it sounds to me like you really want both pups, so it's cool to go with it, just get that insurance and have fun with them.
