No homechecks aren't that quick, and to be honest no responsible rescue should or would rehome two more puppies to ahome where there is already, or in this case is likely to be another puppy, its a recipe for disaster

OP are you pregnant too?

I will just say you are braver person than me especially taking on siblings and bitches at that.

Most breeders are reluctant to do this so I am surprised a rescue or pound are doing this. Will the girls be speyed before they come to you or a contract in place saying you have to have them speyed if they are to young at the moment ?

Agreed - Litter sisters is the biggest no no in the book

comment deleted.
Will simply say I find the whole thread fairly unbelievable.

Frightening really.

The one thing that concerns me about this topic is that the op went from wanting another puppy for their current one to adopting two adult staffies.

Something about that does'nt sound good in itself.

I wonder how a person can make that sort of a leap? Will this mean the puppies the op wanted are no longer in consideration? But in such a short space of time as well. The OP was desiring puppies for a puppy just days before this.

I can see a big fallout between the three dogs....

making a rod for your own back taking the three of them on.

Yes sob stories are upsetting, but you can't let it affect the treatment of the animals you already own. I was often told about this that the other dog desperate for a new home, but my Sweep didn't like other dogs, he got very stressed and upset by them more often than not. So we only had him. Your puppy should be your priority, taking on two bitches, litter mates at that, you know nothing about is hugely irresponsible when you are bringing a young puppy in to the house. You are setting yourself up for absolute disaster.

I think this is the wrong thing to do.

You are going to take on 3 dogs all under a year old?
In a best case scenario you will manage to train them all to an acceptable standard and they all get on, even then 10 or 15 years down the line you are going to have 3 elderly dogs all of a similar age. Thats potentially a v.expensive situation to be in not to mention sad as your 3 dogs all start winding down at the same time!
Another thing to consider is that most peoples dog limit is about 3 so there would also be no more dogs for another 10 -15 years.
I wouldn't like either of those things.
I think this is more likely to go wrong though than go well. Theres not the time in the day to train and walk those 3 plus have a life!
but if in a moment of utter madness I'd gotten myself into such a situation my first priority would be to break down the supposed bond between the two staffy sisters anyway, makes for happier dogs in my opinion but it would take a lot of time and effort.
Choose either the staff sisters or the pup but getting all 3 will likely seriously reduce your enjoyment of either set.
Even if they come tidy in the end I can't see you having much actual fun with them for 1.5 - 2 yrs. If you just get one you can really enjoy him from day1 and have a lovely relaxed puppyhood.

Having lots of dogs is expensive too, I have 4 (added over years not weeks!) last time I had to buy flea treatment for them plus spray for the house it cost nearly £80, a week in kennels for 3 would be over £200 as opposed to £80ish, it mounts up like nobodies business

Also do the rescue know you are planning another pup in 3 weeks? The one I foster for wouldn't rehome in that situation.

Good luck anyway!

NicoleLouu,

You said in another post in another thread:

"my mum had two St Bernard puppies brother & sister. She found it an absolute nightmare to train them. One was really happy to be trained and loved the experience, the other couldn't be bothered. Really held the keen one back to her lacking. They now have poor socialisation with other dogs and I bet she wished she hadn't taken them both in (even though she loves them both!)".

Given the "nightmare" experience your mum had with two St Bernard puppies, what makes you think these two Staffie bitches will be any different? also, if your mum has had a "nightmare" experience with owning siblings in the past, why on earth would she support you doing exactly the same thing again?
