Welcome to the forum

How a dog will turn it depends on both genetics and environment. You can socialize your dog completely, and they may still turn out dog aggressive if that's what their genetics say. On the other hand, you can have a dog that is completely under socialized but is friendly with other dogs (usually after a fearful introduction). And everything inbetween!

I have always had multiple dogs, including multiple pit bulls and mixes. I have had fights. All my fights were between two bitches.. I have been lucky to have VERY mellow males.

If you decide to keep this puppy, you have to be prepared to keep the dogs separated if you can't supervise and to possibly keep them separate ALL the time if they decide they hate each other. Male/female combos are the best, like peachtea said. I also believe that having one mellow dog IS helpful... some dogs will attack and kill another dog, but some dogs will attack another dog and if that dog doesn't fight back they aren't so inclined to do it again because they didn't get a rise out of them. Of course there is nothing scientific behind that at all... that's just been my observation with the dogs I've lived with. All dogs are different and there are no guarantees!

What do you know about the puppy? Given your situation, I would be inclined to say you can make it work... but since you don't know about pit bulls I would suggest doing A LOT of research. Bad Rap is an AWESOME site, and you might want to also check out www.pbrc.net which has a ton of info.

Get the pup neutered as soon as you can, enroll him in classes, keep him exercised (as a pup, this won't take much and you don't want to overdo it)... All you can do is do everything right on your part and hope the genetics agree
