After having 2 Beagle puppies at the same time (they were born on 1/12/11), I can honestly say they are a handful. You cannot train them at the same time. My husband and I train them separately, so no big deal there. I have trained Rotties in the past - and they were completely different to train. They wanted to do what you asked of them - the Beagles want to test you...and they will.

We got 2 so they had company for each other whilst we are at work, and they get along fantastically, and are still eager to play when we get home.

I would rather go through the puppy destruction once, that is why we got 2 in one hit. After going through it once, I wouldn't get another one for a long long time!!

It is your decision, so what ever you decide will be the right thing for you.
