I don't know about what is better getting 2 of one sex of one of each sex, but I got my 2 boys at the same time. They are littermates, brothers! They are best friends and I would feel horrible if they ever had to live without the other one. I feel better leaving them home alone while Im at work because they have each other. Im sooo glad I got 2 of them.
Financial wise be prepared!! I am from the Boston area... when I take my boys to the vet for their vaccinations Im looking at a bill of $350+! Grooming both of them every 2 - 3 months is about $100 and their heartworm & frontline is $100 every 3 months. Not to mention, food, toys, leashes, harnesses (they eat theirs if I leave it out for a minute, Ive replaced them 3x at least). Clean up of 2 unhousebroken pups is a pain! Also, paying attention to both of them is a bit difficult bc they both want 100% of my attention and they get jealous of the other one!
If you can handle the extra work and the extra money of a 2nd one, then I highly recommend getting 2 at the same time! There is nothing like when they are both curled up on my lap at the end of the day sleeping! |
