If they are growing up together they will be fine. You really won't know till they are all spayed and neutered and their individual personalities start to come out. I have five large dogs and the females are the ones that give me a scare every once in a while. I bring in different foster dogs constantly and everyone does fine.
Contrary to popular belief the pit is not going to want to fight the others. He will want to be with you not the dogs. The German shepherd is the one you will have to watch. Considering he is a bit older and probably plays rougher than the others he may get aggravated having three pups around him. Boxers can be extreme play babies and may aggravate the others but as they grow they will start laying out the boundaries they want from the other. Dogs are the best to teach other dogs proper canine etiquette.
And what on earth possessed you to take on four dogs?

It depends on the temperment of the dogs. If one tends to be aggressive towards the others, I'd advise not getting that one. You say they're all relatively young, so they should be okay together. It really doesn't matter what breed they are; you can have a poodle, yorkie, schnauzer, and chiuhauha that could fight.
We have rotties, germans, labs, and mixed breeds that all get along, so again, it doesn't matter on breed.
It doesn't help that rotties, germans, boxers, and pit bulls get reputations as "fighters," just because they're big and can be intimidating. It's the people who make them that way by forcing them to fight and pick on the dog. That's what makes a dog vicious. Very rarely is a dog mean by nature. I've been intentionally bitten by more Boston Terriors and Cocker Spaniels than I have by big dogs.

your question is a little confusing!! Do you want to get all these breeds to live together as puppy's, do you just want to get adult dogs of these breeds together? It all depends on how the dogs are raised! I had a male UN-fix papered Rotty and he would never hurt anything or anyone one but he was raised to be a big baby. I never tolerated aggression of any kind from any of our dogs. We breed Rotty for years in our family and the puppies where all tested when young by my grand father and any sign of aggression and that dog was never bred and was fixed. The papers that went with that dog where also marked for pet quality only so someone who bought it could not breed it. If they where all raised properly they would be fine but other wise no there may be issues if they had never met before and you just put them all in a room together.
Added: If they are all puppies it is a great time to get them together to socialize!!! Just make sure you are there to supervise at all time!! And I do agree with the spaying and nutering this will keep them from feeling the urge to fight as much as an unfix animal
Next time you may want to proved a little more information so your questions make more sense.

Rottweilers, pits, and boxers are considered to be "fighting" breeds to some extent. The jaws of pits and rotweillers (I'm not sure about boxers) will lock if they ever bite onto anything, plus it doesn't help if any of the dogs are the same sex (fixed or not).
Overall, it's best if you had bought a male and female puppy (and later on had them spayed/neutered), so they wouldn't constantly be fighting over who's in charge.
Either way, best of luck to you!

wow ok well which are male and which are female. since there are 4 it will be a pack, a pack always has a leader (alpha male)(alpha female. one male 3 females wil get along fine asssuming theses dogs have not been abused. males will fight for leadership but if puppies they shouldn't be a problem they tend to work it out without real problems. but be careful and watch them closley. females do fight as well for alpha female but not always again if puppies then no problems should arise. more questions are they all spayed and nuetered? obvious complications there! are they all yours? which one did you get 1st etc... nuetral ground is good if one has alreday been home and now thinks of home as his territory. park or field anywhere neutral for 1st meetings is a good start plus leashes and some close friends to help just in case. these dogs should get along as long as they are not or have not been abused. dogs dont discrimate against other breeds unlike humans its more of a personality and leadership problem. since they are young and puppies it will be easier because if they grow up together they will get along. ie cats and dogs etc... just remeber it might not be overnight and all dogs mustbe treated equally. no less or more attention to any of them.
and remeber they are a pack and will destroy things together or hunt together if not properly trained and exercised. good luck and hope you know how much work 4 dogs is gonna be !!!!

Puppies are like kids, if they don't know they are different then they will never know. Seeing how they are all realatively young still you probably won't have a problem. The only time those types of dogs become overly aggressive is when they are raised that way. Also because they are larger breed dogs be careful, a lot of them think they are the size Pomeranian's. :)

It all depends on how they are raised. Yes, those breeds are hereditarily violent, but if raides properly, there is no reason to be too worried.
They need strong obedience training, You have to be the dominent pack member, otherwise they will never listen to you, and you may want to consider training them to run an obsticle course. That will get some of their natural aggression out.
good luck

The breeds themselves matter not so much. It really depends on the individual dogs and how well socialized they are with other dogs. Your odds are best if all the dogs are spayed and neutered.

Dogs fight to determine dominance. These particular breeds are not necessarily prone to aggressiveness, it is their owners who train them to fight. They will have to be introduced carefully, but there is no reason they couldn't eventually become Friends.

uh... you want all four? any breed of dog can fight. it all depends on whether or not they are dog aggressive or not. they also need to be socialized. multiple dogs should never be left unsupervised. this is a bizarre question.
