Get one male and one female.
Same-sex dogs are more likely to fight. Two males (or two females) are much more likely to fight than a male and a female. This is true of every breed, not just pit bulls, because two dogs of the same sex are likely to see each other as rivals.
Regarding this, do male and female pitbulls get along?
Both male and female pit bulls are usually friendly and good with children. However, males -- especially un-neutered males -- are more likely to be aggressive toward other dogs than their female counterpart.
Also to know is, are female pit bulls dangerous?
Dog Aggression Though pit bulls can have increased aggression toward other dogs, female pit bulls are less likely to fight with other dogs than their male counterparts. This is especially true if the dogs aren't neutered.
In general, choosing the other gender is wisest. So if you already have a male dog, choose a female, and vice-versa. Select a younger dog (although, as stated above, not too young), as dogs close in age are more likely to have disagreements. Bringing in a dog older than your resident dog can create tension.
