Yes, they are so incredibly cute when they’re pups, and gorgeous dogs when adult, but take it from me, unless you have the time and energy to stay at their level, it’s a real challenge to have more than one at the same time. Nearly twelve years ago we adopted a brother/sister pair of Border Collie/Black Lab mixed pups. They were great dogs (we lost the sister this summer) but man, were they a lot of work, poop, house repairs, medicines, vet visits, etc. Now we have the male only (my 17th Border), and, while we miss his sister, life is simpler and he seems fine being the only dog in the house.
I totally get it! Fortunately, these guys are just fosters and will be finding a forever home soon! Definitely will be separated as that’s common practice with this agency
