| Hi Traci,
Just got them. Both female same litter. Lot of work but not too much more than one, just will be double the training time which isn't a problem. Just getting used to the playing is an experience. although on a good note it tires them out a ton. I'll be starting puppy classes soon, then continue on. Their attention span is limited at the moment, but they're beginning to know their names and to some degree "no bites" :)...They are very different which is good. One seems very adaptable, And will probably be the easier to train. The other is much more head-strong, and will be a tougher nut to crack. I was pretty sure last night, as as the breeder and her handler that she would be the dominant of the two, but this morning was role reversal. They had two very vocal play moments this morning, which I think were the beginnings of "I've had enough leave me alone for a minute" episodes. The dog, Sisi, the more adaptable one, had the *upper hand*, which is the total opposite of yesterday. I'm finding that how tired one is seems to turn the *battle*, and this has changed form day to day. Kahli, who the breeder and handler both feel will be dominant, is much more dependent on her sister, than Sisi is of her. It's a great read in animal behavior anyways<g>. Just want them to have 2 ears in 4 more weeks! I started yesterday getting time alone with each and it worked out good. They had no problems one on one and were very attentive. In a couple days I'll try to really get through to them, once they settle in a bit more. They have worn they ID collars, but I'll start giving them some time with a collar tomorrow.
thanhyou!
