The “Gemini Twins” will not be separated 🥰💖
As a general rule of thumb, we usually don’t advise getting two siblings from the same litter (due to “LitterMate Syndrome” in which the siblings strongly bond with each other rather than their human family)… that being said, there isn’t always a “one size fits all” rule when it comes to certain situations. What one person can easily handle, could easily cripple another… as such, we are open to requests “outside the norm” and always open-minded toward unusual circumstances.
In this case, it is a matter of fate and destiny; since these are the only 2 puppies in the litter. As a father of human twins, the new owner of Castor and Pollux is well-prepared for coping with challenging and stressful circumstances. When he came to visit us this past weekend, he fell in love with both Castor and Pollux and he decided that he would like to keep them together. He was also amazed by Momma Zima, who was more than happy to let him interact with her babies, despite just meeting him.
So they will go to live with him in Switzerland once they are 8+ weeks old, until they are old enough to travel (all together) to their brand new home in Costa Rica 🇨🇷
We have already given some useful advice and suggestions about how best to manage and prevent LitterMate Syndrome, such as attending Puppy Classes with a separate designated handler for each puppy, and they will also be specially trained to avoid venomous snakes as well.
