rescuing 2 airedales tomorrow, please help

• rescuing 2 airedales tomorrow, please help airedale Posted : 7/22/2006 7:41:10 PM We are getting a 12 week old female airedale tomorrow,  and I really want a 5 month old male airedale that is also a rescue.  I've heard both sides...how awful it is to raise two puppies at the same time and how great it can be.  What are your opinions?  Also, should I get 2 seperate crates or 1 huge one?  Thanks so much.

• nyiceprincess Posted : 7/22/2006 10:12:08 PM Right now we have 2 6 month olds,one 5 month old and one 10 month old all different breeds and sizes.They all get along great!The ones who were better at the house breaking helped the others along,they allways have someone to play with ( or get in trouble with)Seperate crates are a must,they do like time to themselves occasionally.The only question is do you have time for 2 ?It can be lots of fun but also alot of work!You will need to spend one on one time working with each individually. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Xeph Posted : 7/22/2006 11:00:04 PM Do NOT get two puppies at the same time.  IT's NOT easy, it's stressful, and it CAN hinder the bonding process!   It makes training twice as hard, house breaking twice as hard, bonding twice as hard.  If you have two puppies at the same time, they have to be separated a LOT in order for you to establish your role as leader, because otherwise they start looking to each other for permission to do things instead of you.   It CAN be done, but any good breeder/rescue will advise you against it! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
