So please tell me, should i wait a few months and get my male???i wanna know as much as you guys can tell me?? please... and i do thank you, in advance... smiley.

K first of all, it is "adviCe"

second of all....don't crossbreed.

third, no it's not a good idea

I will assume that when you say that you are going to breed the two, you meant to say that they are from differents breedings, not different breeds? If not- then don't breed mutts.

Raising two pups at the same time is not a good idea. You want them to be closely bonded with you, not to each other.

im not cross breeding and second its called line breeding, these are import from germany.and if it bothers you my broken english maybe you shouldnt answer. im not here to tell you my 20 years with gsd. and my life story. ive always had 2, or 3 gsd at differnt ages. not 2 pups at the same time. ill wait for the orginal people with the brains to answer me.... waiting .... thank you...

One error some people make is buying both a male and female pup thinking they will be good for breeding because they come from quality parents.  This can be a mistake. I agree with the postings above.

I do not mean to imply you are doing this as I have no ideal but just making an observation.

for your smart re-mark why dont you ask before you run your mouth. my dogs are not mutts there from VA CHAMP LINES, SHOW DOGS. that are very expensive and like i said maybe you dont understand my broken english, sorry for that but dont insult A VA PUPPYS, OF COURSE THERE DIFFERNT DOGS DIFFERNT va sir and dAM. WHAT DO YOU THINK IM SOME DUM ASS NO BRAINS, YEAH MY ENGLISH IS BROKEN, BUT IM NOT SOME MONEY HUNGRY DUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ITS A KENNEL IN GERMANY MANY DOGS ...

the success or fail of rainsing two pups at the same time depends on the amout of time you can devote to each one on a seperate basis.   as was stated earlier, you want the dogs to bond to you and not each other, which can happen if you let them spend too much time with one another.  my wife and i have done this, but it was a team effort.

We have raised more then one puppy at the same time.  It does take more time and coordiantion to make you the first thing they respond to, not just become a pack of two dogs and you come third.  Most of the time they should be seperate, not run and play together all the time, short controlled times are okay.  Ours both respond to us first and each other second.

If you have the space to keep them apart unless supervised and have the tima and engery, I see no reason not to get them.  Just be aware of the potential issues and plan for those.  Good luck and have fun.

Easy there- like I said I assumed that you meant they were from differnt breedings- or the obvious don't breed.  No one said they were mutts- we just said don't breed mutts= two differnt breeds mixed to clarify that for you. There are many people who cross breed on purpose ie labradoodles , yorkie poos, and the list goes on- they are expensive mutts that is not condoned but still done. I didn't insult anything- just said don't breed mutts-  crossbredding  is not line breeding.

Now- you stated that you wre going to breed them - how do you know that they will be a good match? What may look great on paper doesn't always equate to a good match- and with them being puppies there is no way to tell- since you haven't seen them yet. Doesn't take brains to figure that out.
