Hi, everyone:
Someone I work with did what I've always heard to be a no-no... got two lab puppies out of the same litter. A male and a female. I've always heard you should have more age spread from one dog to the next when getting a puppy. The puppy can learn from the older dog and the pecking order is already established. Anyway, they are vying for dominence and are just a couple of complete terrors. And they're very needy for each other. If one gets taken out, the other one just absolutely freaks out until they see each other again. They're also not very good about being potty trained because all they do is play with each other and not pay attention.
Do any of you know of a book about raising sibling puppies? Or have advice? Thanks...
