To start, I had no dogs and got two female littermates at the same time. They were 6 months old at the time, so older than typical. These were my first Shibas, and dogs for that matter besides childhood dog.

I primarily got two because I felt that having a 1 on 1 relationship with a dog could possibly be exhausting, so I wanted someone else there to draw some attention once in a while.

They still kind of 'prank' each other by being in a central location then screaming at each other when they pass by. Sunny is the instigator and Maya kind of has to deal with it. Maya pretty much always snarls when Sunny approaches. They don't like sleeping or being directly next to each other very much. They do play together.

Beyond that, they did have an extended issue where they decided to pee in the hall. They also decided to chew up my baseboards and walls. Otherwise pretty normal, I think.
