keeping sibbling male mini schnauzers together

Question
We are about to buy one, or two male pups, from the same litter. What is your advice? Would it be wise to do so, or is it likely that they may become aggressive towards each other in the future? we were thinking of the two as they seem so happy together and the owner would also be happy if they could stay together. He, or they, will be joining a home with three children, aged 11, 8 and 7. Thanks for your help. Kerry.

Answer
Have them neutered as early as possible. This just avoids SO many problems. Be sure each pup gets time alone twice per day for training and playing with people without sibling. They'll be fine.
Go to alpha dog boot camp on the web to learn to establish and maintain pack order in your home. This is essential for ALL breeds.
You'll have a great time with your boys,
enjoy
