Two male Dogue De Bordeaux's ?

Hello

First time poster here. I'm getting ready to get a couple DDB puppies. I'm new to DDb's but not mastiff's. I've had four English mastiffs in my life in the past and love the breed just ready for something a little smaller. Ive always done my dogs in pairs and had great luck with it! I've always done a male and female and never bred or considered it. This time I had planned to do the same. I have found a breeder I like and they have some pups. They have males and females but I have become enamored with a pair of males they are brothers and look quite a bit alike but both have such wonderful outgoing personalities like their sire.
My big concern is do you think, I will be able to avoid canine agression between the two if they are raised together? I've never had a problem with two pups of getting them both to bond to me. I'm extremely Alpha and super active so will be able to kep both pups exercised and still do plenty of individual things with each!
Thanks for any advice you can offer:)

I had 2 male APBTs and they where best friends didn't like other dogs though...it can be done I would do what you already know establish yourself as pack leader treat separate (I might even feed separate) you might have a scuffle or so when they come of age but I think it should be fine JMHO

U have experience with mastiffs, just go for it! Remember dogs are pack animals, so there is your answer, they will be fine together! (Little disagreements from time to time and other issues that u will b familiar with but should b no big deal for u) I'm really jealous I would love another DDB but just don't have the room just now.
 
Thanks for the input! I still have not decided which way to go. On one hand I hate to miss out on the experience of having a female. But on the other hand the males make such a good looking pair and both have such super personalities. I need to decide today. Decisions decisions.haha

I've always raised two pups together ..... sisters , brothers , brother sister ..... the only ones that made it a lifetime together without needing seperated was a brother and sister....
