Q.   Can I buy two puppies at the same time?

A.   If you already have a well behaved dog and you'd like a second one, that's a great idea, both for you and your dog but you should avoid buying two puppies at the same time (particularly litter-mates).

Two pups will bond with each other, rather than with you and this can make them very difficult to train properly. Unless you have lots of spare time and are prepared to train the young dogs seperately it's a far better idea to have one puppy, and then after six or better still, twelve months or more, when your first dog is really nicely under control, buy a second pup.

If you do it this way, the first dog will help you train the second one!
