Is it difficult to adopt 40 or so days old Dash and Boxer female puppies simultaneously?

After buying (female) Dash puppy few days ago, I got an opportunity to adopt a (female) Boxer puppy. Kindly furnish me the practical difficulties involved in adopting Dash and Boxer puppies. If it is not advisable I will reject the offer to adopt Boxer.

  1. The only down side i see is that your going to have to do double duty on house training. Though it may prove to be a bit harder then doing just one at a time it will work it's self out. Boxers are wonderful dogs and will get along with most anything big or small. To avoid dominance issue later on in life be sure to spay them both. Make sure you don't get either of them before 8 weeks old and you shouldn't have any issues.
  2. No you should go for it boxers get along great good with kids other dogs cats anything even birds if socialized early and kept up with the training and give plenty of exercise as they can be a bit hyper. but i have 5 boxers and there all pretty close in age and i found it helped having more than one on the potty training and i dont have any problems and my parents have three boxers and when they all come over look out its jumping and play fighting everywhere so cute and funny good luck.
  3. If you have the time and energy then by all means go for it. Puppy care and training takes nearly full time for the first few months. You can't just leave them around alone all day and WISH they'd be obedient and not bite on objects or pee/poop everywhere-- all of that requires TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING. Lastly, female-female pairs usually don't work too well and unless you have a lot of experience dealing with female-female dogs I don't recommend it. Regardless, you should spay them, it'll make your life 500% easier as you're trying to train, with the side effect of reducing many unwanted babies-- trust me on this! If you don't have the time or energy, then it's better to give the puppy to someone else who does. Speaking from experience, obedience training is best done 1:1 so they're not confused. My advice to every dog owner, assuming they care about obedience, is to get a puppy AFTER the first adult is well trained (after the first one is AT LEAST 18month-24months). If you get two puppies at the same time they tend to BOND to each other and will not bond to you ask much, hence making obedience training very difficult. Then again, if you don't care about obedience, then by all means get the second one. Good luck.
