It sounds like you're pretty aware of some issues that might come up, so that's a good start. Your female is still very young, so there's really no telling if she will develop any type of DA later, and there's no guessing at all about a new puppy either, but as long as you're aware of that, and take certain precautions, you'll be OK.

We have an APBT, and a pit/hound?/lab? mix. Both fixed females, and about 6 months apart in age. (Mix is 1.5 years old, other is 1) They're OK together....but I would NEVER leave them alone together, our mix is somewhat DA, and gets snarky very easily. There's some days that they can't be out in the yard together because she's just in one of her "moods"; MOST of the time, they're fine and have a blast...we just make sure we're prepared, and watching them at all times, and we make sure that there's never any "high value" objects around to cause an argument.

They honestly aren't out of their crates at the same time in doors very often, because quite frankly, they drive me nuts very quickly. LOL They LOVE to wrestle and roll around with each other all over the living room carpet, and they get loud and very hyper quickly. I'm sure they think it's a blast, but it gets annoying pretty quickly to everyone else. We have a big family, with 4 kids, so having the two dogs really works well for us in alot of ways too. There's more puppy love to go around, and less bickering between the kids about "doggy duties".

It works for us!
