Anytime I had multiple dogs its because I was doing rescue. But I think a good reason to get another dog is because YOU want another dog to work with. Generally with the bully breeds people own multipules because of the love of the breed, or are active with the breed (Showing, Raising, Agility etc). But its never a good idea as a general rule of thumb to get another dog based on companionship for your current. It just must be something YOU want to invest your time into.

I do understand how this can happen to some people, but my finances are extremely stable. To make it short, I have always been more responsible especially with money, than anyone that I know. I also landed an extremely secure job working for the federal government. It's kind of sad, but I would have to basically kill someone at work to get fired.

It has nothing to do with if BOTH breeds are bully or not. You can have a APBT and a Black lab together doesn't mean you'll never have to create and rotate. Its just apart of owning the bully breeds.
I would be willing to crate and rotate at times if things went awry. I'm just trying to see if people have had more success with a APBT and a different breed getting along in a household situation vs. two APBT's, or if it really just depends on the individual dogs.

Individual dogs. Breed doesn't matter. Although people tend to run into more issues with owning multiple bullies if there not super careful.

Absolutely! I would never think to leave two dogs alone unsupervised. Saint is currently crated when I'm not home and I would definitely crate the both of them separately when I was unable to supervise them.

Yes, and he is happy when I get home. He just really enjoys the more physical aspect of play that he can engage in with other dogs. (I'm not gonna wrestle around on the floor with him like the other dogs in my family do.)
