PUPPY QUESTION...Did anyone ever get 2 puppies (from same litter) at the same time??? (pics included)

We are getting a puppy soon & just went to see the pups for the first time today. We originally were going to get the little girl, but we also fell in love w/ her brother!!! They are both too adorable, I hate to choose one over the other.
So has anyone gotten 2 puppies together? Is it very difficult? Maybe they will keep each other company?
AM I CRAZY???

PS- they are mini poodles- the girl is black & the boy is apricot. So it's not like they're huge dogs.

I don't know but I would think that it would be good, they are relatives and are probably used to each other. I would think that if you got them from 2 differnt litters, they may not get along.....but then again, brothers and sisters do fight.....

From a training standpoint, it's not good to get two litter mates. They become and are more bonded to each other than to you, and thus they don't listen to you as much as each other.

Mind you, my DH and I knew this, and STILL bought two littermates, but it was much more difficult in terms of training.

Most trainers will tell you to NOT buy littermates.
