some suggestion for names

oH, GOSH, a very careful breeder here in Italy once told me "If you want two CSWs, do it, they're splendid but... DO NOT TAKE TWO PUPPIES AT THE TIME... two pups are not twice the work, they are FOUR TIME the work!"

That is because they will form a very strong bond with each other, so you really risk to be cut out.

The child, besides, is very young and it is easier to teach to ONE dog (female, I daresay!) to be delicate than to two.

I have a 13 months old male who was so rough as a puppy with children, even if he loves them!! Now he has started to be more delicate (especially with very small children), but it took a lot of work and patience and I never leave the eyes off of him when children are around!!

Please, take only one, and raise it properly, then you can think to take the second (if the first has not done his or her job well :P)
