raising two males from the same litter

Question
I have had my two male poms for 7 weeks now, they are now 4 mnths old. Should I put them in separate crates. So far they are doing fine. They are doing good with the housebreaking, one more so than the other. When I take them out side they are in an exersize pen together for safety reasons. I have heard nothing but negatives about raising littermates, can you give me some positives. So far things are going well. I'm just getting scared from all the negatives of raising two.  

Answer
There is good reason you are getting negative responses-they will become too dependant on each other and not bond well with you.  Try to seperate them some times.  Spend special time seperate with each and you shold be crate training them seperate.  But it is very special for them to live together.  They are all they know since they were new so to grow old together is very special. :o) Enjoy them but give them special time alone too.
