Littermate syndrome describes the phenomenon when two puppies from the same litter grow up together in the same home.
The puppies get so attached to each other and form such a deep bond, it can spark behavioral issues. Unfortunately, it can also prevent your puppies from bonding with you, leaving you feeling a little bummed to say the least.
However, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a given situation for all sibling pups that you raise together.
Puppies display extreme separation anxiety when they’re away from each other. The dogs only eat when they are together. You might notice a lack of focus and difficulty with things like training. The dogs might fight with each other or show aggression towards other dogs.
