I have a Pit bull/Boston terrier mix. I'm thinking of getting a english bulldog as well. The pit mix is 8 months old. the bulldog is 2 months. would that be a good mix?

It wouldnt be too bad. I would worry about the size differences for rough and tumble play. Also I would suggest opposite sexes if possible. However both dogs are young and can learn the rules together.

Thats what we were hoping. our neighbor has 2 bigger dogs- 2 gsds and a husky mix. our pit/BT mix wears them out- and they're close in age as well. Our pit/BT mix has a lot of energy and nobody to burn it off with. She loves the nieghbors dogs and we have 'play days' most evenings. I believe the bulldog is a female. our pit/BT is female and just got spayed last month. thank you for the help! the woman we'll be getting her from says that she nips a bit and doesn't understand that she's 2 months old and puppies do that quite a bit- she has kids, we do not- she'll have a better home with us, rather than going to the pound.
thank you!

Remember that adding the pup will mean a smidge of transition time. The dogs will vye for attention. Try to keep routines the same for the current dog. When you get home, greet the existing dog first and give her some private time.

Kenneling is VERY important with two same sex bullies. If you currently do not kennel the resident dog, make sure that the new pup is always kenneled when you are not home. This will give both dogs some down time, and keep the puppy from trouble.

Also make sure to feed in seperate areas. This prevents scrapping.

Good luck and I look forward to pics!
