A pitbull of the opposite sex is usually most compatible because it has the same size and strength. Neutered males usually get along well also. You should try to avoid having two female pits as they almost always get into it at some time or another. My male akita is a perfect fit for my female pit as he is strong enough to paw her to the ground and pin her when she gets too rough.

Pits are larger muscular dogs but they are very smart and calm for their size. They just have a bad reputation. I would suggest finding a dog park and walk him around on-leash at first to see how he reacts to other dogs and then let him off leash. It's not so much what the breed gets along with but what the dog gets along with. I knew a Saint Bernard that didn't like big dogs at all but loved to follow small dogs and puppies around and cuddle. He never really played but enjoyed their company. I have a Rottweiler who likes golden retrievers, beagle, huskies, and pretty much any kind of dog. He is very submissive but loves to play. Whatever kind you decide on introduce them on-leash a few times before you decide entirely on getting the other dog. This way they are introduced on neuteral ground and you will get an idea of how they get along. However, if it's a very playful Pit Bull I would suggest a sturdy dog. Not neccesarily big but sturdy.

this is a hard one... is difficult to introduce any dog to another because dogs have their own moods too... my brother has a pitbull and she has lived before with other dogs because she was raised living with other dogs, so practically she never needed introduction to other dog because she was used to live accompanied. But I know other pitbulls that don't tolerate other dogs... so it will be better if you ask your veterinary and you can prove how the dog reacts when he is with other dogs.

I just want to say something. Pit bulls are just like any other dog. The only reason that pit bulls have the reputation that they do, is because they are mistreated and often trained to be vicious as a guard or fighter dog because of their intimidating appearance. Most normal ones are friendly and sweet.All dogs have a protective part of them. And ANY kind of dog could turn randomly on their owner, or any person. Those are most likely schizophrenic dogs. Pit bulls are not the only ones.

Maybe slightly more submissive than the dog you have. If you have any issues with your dog that needs to be taken care of such as being too dominant, or misbehavior I would take care of that before introducing another dog.
Good Luck!

any dog, but before you buy one, you need to take your dog to wherever you are buying the dog from and let them meet to see if they will get along or not. My brother has a pit and he wanted a rottie that we found at the pound. we took the pit up there and let them meet first and they were ok, no problems it took about 20 minutes for them to warm up to each other but it was ok and they are best friends now. good luck

why would anyone want a pitbull. but if you need another dog get a english mastiff that way it the pit turns on him the mastiff will put him in his very liitle place.where do you think pits come from?i sure hope you don't have any children around the pit.if you do that's child abuse.

Another pit...but if you must a german shepard,lab,retriever,rottweiler.Something pretty much close in size and tough and strong therefore the pitbull won't kill it.

I think it depends on the pit's personality. We have a pit mix and he gets along well with our other dog who is a whippet mix, but we did get them both when they were young.
