If you want two, get two.

But understand that the reason why people say what they say is because the American Pit Bull Terrier was bred to be Dog Aggressive or to have a very low tolerance of other dogs. Owning two means you have to watch both your dogs at all times. I currently own an APBT mutt and a American Bulldog mix. Different genders, the male is younger being about 9-10 months old. I let them run and play together. At the same time, they are separated at night. The female sleeps with me and my husband some nights and other nights the male does. The other is locked away in a kennel.

Owning two, you need to keep in mind that there could be one day that your dogs might decide they hate each other, and when that happens, your dogs can no longer live together. Always be on edge when they are together. Never expect them not to fight and feel damn lucky if they don't. You will need to consider different outlets to burn their energy, every dog is different. Where one likes to chase the flirt pole the new dog might not; which means you need to figure out what drives them.

If you have to be away for any amount of time, make sure you kennel both dogs or have them placed in rooms and make sure they are dog proofed. I have heard of too many times that people have left and come back to dead dogs. And this isn't just limited to the Pit Bull.

I personally have only had tiny scuffles from time to time with my two dogs. I have never had a full blown fight. I also Pray that I never will. However, if it does happen I am prepared to keep my dogs apart. There is no particular age where they can show DA. It can be anywhere from 6 months to the day they die. Just be prepared. A good tool to have on hand is a break stick. Even with just owning one APBT.

I'd type more but my fingers are taped up. I hope this little bit helps. There are also some wonderful stickies through out the site that has great reads that will help in caring for single and multi dog homes.
