I do believe there is reason for caution - but this is more to do with the fact that it is not practical to try and raise two puppies at one time as one puppy is very time consuming if trained properly and two is too much unless you are doing nothing else in your life which is improbable. |
Well, you've pretty much answered your own question. It is well documented in studies that two puppies of equal potential put in one home will not come out equal. It's been discussed PLENTY of times on this forum, spend some time searching, you'll find the info.
Knowing that two puppies can't flourish in one household, a concerned breeder would not be placing two puppies in one household.
Obviously I know breeders who have given puppies away, but as a general rule, especially for all the masses searching on here, a breeder who sells you one puppy and gives you a second one (at the same time) IS NOT a reputable breeder (which is the whole point of this thread....helping people weed through the masses).
