Hello to everyone! I just brought 2 male littermates home 4 days ago, aged 12 weeks. They are doing well so far, but I've been reading all kinds of things on the internet about "litter syndrome" with most advising not to attempt this. They seem to be getting along really well and don't fuss when they're in the crate. I really want to get them off to the right start, so I have numerous questions if anyone can provide some good answers!
1. Should I crate them together or separately?
2. Should I walk them together or separately?
3. Feed together?
4. Have alone time with each while the other is either in the pen or crate? Should the one not being attended to have a visual or should I play with them out of site if separated?
5. Anything else I should think about or be wary of in regards to having siblings, I don't want them to get aggressive or not pay attention to me because they are obsessed with one another?
6. What signs should I look for that things are going sideways with regard to them being litter mates, if at all with this breed?
I know... a lot of questions! I just really want to do the right thing. Thanks so so much in advance.
