Raising two puppies? Why do people so BAD IDEA?

Well I'm in the same predicament. Only I have two male pitbulls. I had a golden retriever which is close to the problems and attitudes of ur lab. Never had a husky but I am going to school for vet tech and have always been interested in dogs. Number 1: ppl say its a bad idea because of the amount of tension and stress it causes. U r doin right by separating them and giving each their own time. Number two: don't let them even begin to fight because it will cause competition and slight domination in one if your dogs. Which at sum point, the dominant dog might test u or the one getting bullied will lash out on the other one. Kinda like Wat ppl do wen being bullied. Number three: research each breed. Labs r natural hunters and retrievers. They tend to be more hyper and smell out where the garbage is, where ur shoes r, etc. They don't really stop chewing till they r two. Find games that let het natural instincts take hold. She will be more attentive and eager to learn and play. The husky, I know they r workers and also very hyper. U have to walk them to burn out their energy. Once u master each dogs bad habits then it will be ok to train them to do something together. The best thing about ur situation is u have two similar dogs that can relate to each other with playing and training. Luckily u didn't get a poodle and a husky. Lol. Also, the success stories I heard have been from professional trainers and also regular ppl. U have to give each dog confidence and comfort. They each have to know u r the alpha and they r equal.
