I would like to hear any advice or opinion about trying to raise /
train two female GWPs from the same litter.

Mostly what I hear is that it requires STRICT separation of the pups for them to develop and to bond with humans.

Otherwise , you risk them "packing" (bonding with each other) and being wild and not very obedient (even dangerous).

I would have to say that raising two puppies from the same litter would not be any different than having more than one wire at a time. I currently have three wires and they are fine with me. Each one gets what I refer to as “Mommy and me” time. Two of them run together for exercise but I also do individual work with them.
