Yes, of course. Two puppies are twice the work as one. Having two puppies, I'm worried about them overbonding. If they do, they might decide you're "no fun" and won't listen to a word you say. If you decide to go ahead and get the puppy, make sure they are not together 24/7. Give each of them seperate playtimes with you, and your son.

I waited a year until I brought another dog in, Molly (my Collie) who was trained before we got Daisy (my golden), and I'm glad I did. I personally, don't think I could handle two puppies!

Either way, make sure you get them into some type of obedience class.
