While we are not requiring they be adopted together, they are quite fond of each other. So maybe consider the pair, if you have the time and space!

They know some basic commands, such as sit, come, lay down, outside, kennel and enough. They were said to be great children and curious about strangers. They have experience with dogs, cats and even livestock like horses and goats. Please use caution if planning to introduce either of these boys into a home with other animals.
