8 week old Dachshund Littermates

Hello, My wife and I recently adopted 2 Dachshund littermates. They are 8 weeks old. They are brother and sister and both very adorable. The male is laid back but the female is very hyper and active. i started reading up on training 2 littermates and most of the info i read wouldnt recommend it and some even said it was the worst thing ever to do. We are determined to keep them both and figure they will grow out of their mischevious ways. We are crate training both of them in their own crates, potty training them (sometimes at the same time or by themselves) [img] , and praising and rewarding them after every positive thing they do and it shows they are learning. We both work so we feed before we leave, drive home for lunch and feed them (wife) and i drive home during my lunch to take them outside. we also have someone take them outside for potty or play with them in the afternoon. we then get home early evening, feed and play with them before they go off to sleep around 930 or 10pm. so they are getting to go to potty every 3-4 hours and are not taking longer to wake up in the middle of the night to go outside. They can now hold it 4-5 hours before we wake them up or they wake us up. just wanted to reach out here for any advice in regards to raising to littermate (male/female) dachshunds since this is the first time we own our own dogs. What can we expect as they grow and what can we do to make sure both littermates grow up to be trained and happy. Thanks! [img] [img] [img] [img]
