Mills,
TroutSetter"s correct, two the same age or from the same litter can be a problem. 'Bin there, done that.' (They'll bond to each other & get into trouble together. My 2 got out & went on a joy run together. Only one came back.) Get the first pup BONDED to your family (esp. your wife), then in 2 to 4 years bring in another, (a pup, not a wife). An older huntin' dog can really help with training a second pup.
The book "Gun Dog" by Richard Wolters, is a great book to go through with your sons & family. It will help your sons understand & be a part of the training of a pointing dog. Now's the time to start with the wing on the string.
