Re: Does anyone have a consumer reports with washing machines ratings??
I have a Kenmore Elite HE front loading washer. I can do horse clothing in it and it's been a good washing machine. It's a few years old but still going strong. Between the three dogs getting their muddy feet wiped in winter and me having horses and goats at home, the washer gets plenty of use.

Re: one puppy or two?
I have twice had success raising littermates from puppyhood. They were, as paws pointed out, trained separately and we never had an issue with the dogs looking to the other dogs and not the human. In both cases, the dogs were social, well behaved, and well adjusted. It sounds as if you plan to spend...

I use "Flea Go" on the carpets twice yearly when there is no sign of fleas. I wash their bedding weekly. If the dogs needs something topical (it's been three years since they have) I use lavender. I have a lab who reacts horribly to any chemical so this route works for us.
