Our only problem is that puppies belong in the house and do not belong on chains. They are dangerous! And the one that is just a leash can easily be chewed through. People just shouldn't get dogs if they are going to keep them outside especially little puppies. Also it's dangerous for puppies to be outside a lot until they have all their shots.
My SIL never had the Boxer in the house but she whines all the time when people are inside and she hears the other dogs. Its sad.
WOW you've taken on a lot of work, taking in two puppies. Make sure you do seperate training sessions with them every day, and bond with them seperately every day. One problem with having two puppies, especially two puppies from the same litter is that they often bond more strongly with each other than their humans. I notice also that they appear to be part pit bull. This means that you need to be on the look out for dog aggression as they get older. Around 1 1/2 to two years old they may start fighting with each other and you may need to resort to crate and rotate.
Training and socialization will be very important for these puppies. You don't want to have TWO unruly dogs to deal with; when they hit about 6 months old you will have two teenage dogs testing their limits and trying your patience - make sure you reinforce everything you've taught so far and never let them get away with breaking the rules! Good luck with your pups!

Outdoor dogs are the norm over here, crate training is often considered cruel - keeping them in a rather small crate when they can be free outdoors.
I hope you get the fencing up soon

Updates...
Today my mom got her "Bush Money" so she bought Kumar his Harness. We actually bought 2 from 2 different places... the 1st harness was to big so when we went to Wally World we bought another (we couldn't return the 1st one) and even though it was bigger, it fit him better
Then we bought fencing for the yard! I told you the pups wouldn't be chained forever. And I think cause the puppies are already paper trained, my moms gonna have them inside at night and outside during the day (there actually inside as I type).
I got the first part of the fence put up (yes.. im the one putting the fencing up
), I just gotta put the second part up then we'll have a fenced yard!!!
Also our Vet is coming on Wednesday to give the puppies a checkup/De-Wormed/Shots and to give Kumar a checkup, After there done Jack gets his Shots/Fixed and Kumar gets his Shots... then Bonnie gets checked (all at different times).
