I am considering getting a 2nd pitbull as i have always been used to having 2 dogs.. Both my boxers passed away due to the chinese poison chicken treats.. So i have a female puppy now 6 1/2 months and i am thinking of getting a male. I have read about pits not needing a buddy and how they are human lovers not dog lovers so i know what many believe but there are plenty of people with 2 and id like to hear from them.

I have a huge fenced yard and while my pup loves me she absolutely loves playing with others in the yard.. With me i spend each day with the flirtpole or in the pool so she gets exercise and i have plenty of time for her but she doesnt play until exhaustion like she does when i have another dog for her to run with.. i think its healthier for them to be active more than an hour a day or a few hours per weekend. If we are in the house she doesnt play as much and sleeps like a lazy bum without a buddy..

What are your thoughts on a 2nd given she is 6 months and the puppies im looking at are 4 months.. is it better for them to grow up together or better for her to grow up and then have a puppy she may be more dominant over even though hes going to be much larger?? I have time for both so time is no issue.. I work 6-7 hours a day 5 days and they can come to work with me too since i own my own business.. Bella my female sleeps all day at work with me.. I know the rules of keeping them apart when not at home cause of course anything can happen ( fight ) and i have read after 10 years together it has happened.. so i know the risks..

Thanks for the advice!!!
