« Where can I find toy pug puppies?

Am I just asking for trouble if I adopt two pug puppies together?

We are considering adopting two 17 week old pug brothers. They are very bonder and are used to sleeping together, eating together, playing together, etc. We feel bad only taking one and leaving the other one behind. My question is….am I only asking for trouble if I take two home? Will it be harder or easier having two together. I’m not too sure if it will be more difficult, or if it will actually be easier if they are able to learn together and from one another. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Yep,sure are.
Twice the time to train,double the trouble, …double *everything*!! They’ll only BAD behaviors "from each other".
They’ll be just fine..BETTER…when separated permanently.

Please,stop anthropomorphizing! They’re dogs,not human "brothers".

  1. 2 puppies together tend to be harder to train and bond more closely to each other than people. Some people can manage them but not many. Most puppies when together will sleep together, play together etc. They are still young enough that separating them isn’t going to be a major issue

  2. I have always found raising two dogs is easier than one. It is better for the dogs socially as well.

  3. It will be easier and harder. Like the age old question of are two babies really harder than one? The good part is they will likely adjust better and crate train easier because they will comfort each other. Clean up until they are house trained will be twice as much. If you have the resources and space, I would get both. We have had three new pups in the past year and a half- at six month intervals. I would have rather house trained them all at once, than be house training for a year and a half! Good luck!

  5. At the age the pugs are at they are well and truly bonded to each other so if you do not mind that they prefer each other"s company to yours go ahead.Pugs love people and if you can afford the two go for it for the right reasons.Remember you have 2 to train su are you prepared for that.Weigh up the pros and cons and then decide not on pity but practicality

  6. I’d not take litter brothers. It could be that by this age, their temperaments, in terms of who is dominant, will be apparent, and if there is one who is more dominant than the other, you may be okay. Personally this combination is the least pairing I’d consider. We have almost always kept two from a litter, but always either two girls, or one of each. However, mine is a breed who normally live together easily, being hounds.

    I’ve never experienced any problem in training with two from the same litter.

    These two might be best buddies at the moment, but once the hormones kick in, it could well be another story. Your decision, but for me, yes, you might be asking for a bumpy ride ahead.

  7. No I think it would be a really good idea to adopt them together, that is if you can afford it, but do not bring anything into your family that you cannot afford because you don’t want to have to get rid of them. But considering they have already bonded it won’t be as hard on them with leaving the mother and also being home alone but you should crate them while you are not home.
