Chaos and Wicked like her now. Wicked plays with her all of the time, they chase each other back and forth and try to pounce on each other. Chaos just follows her around, kinda watching over her. I just love cats! The breeder I got Isolde from is going to be having another litter of kittens in the next couple of months and I want another one so bad!

"I'm glad that they're both puppies so i don't have to buy two kinds of food, just a bigger bag! lol"

If you are feeding puppy food...you must feed a GSD puppy LARGE breed puppy food. So...if you are feeding puppy food...yes..you will be feeding two different foods.

GSDs can get along with smaller dogs and cats without too much difficulty.

I think the biggest problem is going to be raising 2 puppies at one time. Read some threads on here about it and maybe check out this article. Raising 2 pups at one time in a Family Setting To be the best companions possible, your GSD and your cocker are probably going to need to spend the majority of the time apart for at least the first year. You want your dogs to bond to the people first and the other dog second and to achieve that both pups need to spend the majority of their time with people.

And I agree with Myamom. GSDs should not get regular puppy food. You want their growth to be slow. Many people go right to adult food. If you do choose to feed a puppy food it needs to be large breed puppy food, which would not be appropriate for your Cocker.

You can raise 2 at a time I've done it before with my corats. (Rat terrier/corgie) Gabe and Angle. There 3 now. And I'm doing it now with A GSD and a Papillion. They are 2 weeks apart in age. We got Rusty the pap in january and Bella A couple weeks ago a lot more work yes and of course they are not left alone together in case the GSD acedently hurts the pap. With 2 people and jus 2 dogs it not be so bad. We have 9 beteen the 2 of us and we manage pretty good. We also have 5 mixed breed cats they are in side /outside cats. Out in the day house at night. I want a sphynx cat wanted on before austin powers but every one thinks I'm stupid to want to pay $$$ for a cat

but any way good luck with ur babys I'm sure it will work out just fine

The breeder we got Isolde from also breeds Sphynx cats, I think she said they are $1000?

Ouch

Ya ouch if I spent that much on a cat my dogs and DH both would kill me lol I shaved a orange and white cat about 12 to 15 yrs ago he was ugly and did not look the same. That cat never forgave me for that but it was funny at the time LOL.
