Carrie12345 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 That day is not today. We put a deposit down on TWO German Shepherds yesterday. 😜 I have played this game before, and I always advise people against it, but here I am! When we got our previous GSD-mutt and Rottie-mutt puppies together, I had 7, 3, and 2yos at home, so this can’t possibly be *harder. My 11yo (who was born when my mutt boys were about 5ish) was up until 10:30 watching dog training videos, so I’ll have some help. I’m generally not a fan of the puppy stage, but we want to do some intense training, and we have a small dog in the house, so it’s worth it for the end result. A few more weeks to go! Wish me lots of luck please! 37 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jann in TX Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Your chaos will be rewarded with the best dogs ever! I'm so envious!!! My GSD is almost 11... I have puppy fever!-- well I have a hound-mix puppy but it is NOT the same! I loved the training stage of my GSD's (I've gone through it 6 times!)...but I've never gone through it 2 at a time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth86 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) I keep saying no more chaos too, so we got an Australian Shepherd puppy and then we got pregnant. 🤣 Good luck!

SKL Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Best of luck with the training and the patience! Sitting here with my 1.5yo GSD and his 3yo brother (visiting) right now. Having 2 together has it's pros and cons. 🙂 A lot of work, but lots of love in the long run. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re going to be growing so fast! We think we have the names picked out, but I want to give it some time in case we change our minds. Our running supply list is getting loooooong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ting Tang Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 They are so cute! We considered two puppies at once but ultimately decided against it after reading about littermate syndrome. But some never have those issues, or some like their dogs to be bonded, if they are stay at home alone dogs. I haven’t recovered from puppyhood yet, though, lol. It was hard! The backyard was too creepy at 2am. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I had to take my other dog out at 5am today because he’s obnoxious, so there’s no escaping the creepy for me. Dh can take one to work sometimes, so we can switch off. And we have a highly regarded doggy daycare nearby, so we might give them each like half a day a week so they get used to being apart young and regularly. 5 hours ago, Baseballandhockey said: Why two? I'm not judging just curious. Oh, cuz I’m a sucker. The first time this happened 17 years ago, we picked a puppy online and met at an adoption event to get him. He was the GSD mutt, and GSDs are dh’s preference. The organization happened to have a rottie mutt there, and rotties are my weakness. Dh said let’s just get both, I squealed, then panicked, then decided to hightail it out of there with both before he changed his mind. This time, we were picking from a litter. We had narrowed down gender, but I wavered when I saw the females. Somehow, I pulled myself together. Then we narrowed down the 3 available males to two, and it made me sick to reject one. Dh preferred one of the two and I preferred the other. Again, he said let’s just get both. I tried to be an adult and said let’s pick mine and then go home and talk about it. He was clearly crushed. So I capitulated and said fine, let’s pick yours and go home and talk about mine. AND THEN MINE CRIED IN MY ARMS, RIGHT ON CUE! So this time, I panicked, agreed, and Dh hightailed it out of there before I could change my mind. And that is how we are ending up with… Sam and Dean. 7 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spryte Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Just coming back to say that I asked both DS(18) and DH what would be the perfect names for two puppy brothers from the same litter… Both thought a moment and said, “Sam and Dean!” Maybe you need a cat named Winchester… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m a Supernatural fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
