I own both the APBT and the American Bully and though it is a challenge and a lot of work it can be done. I also have both that live indoors and can run around the house together for short periods of time supervised. Do your research and be prepared. Get a break stick and learn to use it properly, make sure you have a good crate to contain the dog in when you are not at home. Wire crates do not work so well with APBT and some of them will eat through a plastic crate. If the dog will be outside with out supervision make sure to have a proper chain set or a sturdy kennel with top/roof. They are escape artist....Above never trust an APBT not to fight even when you think it will never happen there is a possibility it will.
We have a friend who's parents owned 2 APBT litter mates and for 8 years these dogs ran free together in the house and yard. I told them that was not such a good idea, they came home from work one day to find a dead dog and one badly injured that died 2 days later at the Vets office. Also keep in mind that not all APBT's like to work, I have one that absolutely refuses to do anything but hand walk and both his Sire and Dam are great workers. Good luck in choosing the right dog for what you are looking to achieve and we will expect pics if and when you get one =)
