Guest, please reconsider, especially if these dogs are to live in the same household. Two bitches are often harder to maintain as a happy couple than a mixed pair - especially if they are from the same litter, and even if they are just the same breed. Additionally two puppies obtained at the same time need to be trained AND socialised both together AND seperatly - this is 3 times the work of a single pup. Also, this independance needs to be maintained throughout the dogs life to help prevent one pining for the other temporarily or permanently if the worst should happen.
A responsible breeder won't rehome two puppies together for these reasons, even the most experienced dog owners aren't prepared for the amount of work two puppies require, and a breeder whose not bothered by your plans probably doesn't have the pups future at heart, and therefore won't have given them the best possible start either, so you may be storing up trouble for yourselves, either on a behavioural front or on a health front, or even both :(
