I think they will be okay since they're both fixed and are being introduced at a young age. Usually male/male dog aggression occurs if they aren't neutered.
But just keep a watchful eye on them for a while just to make sure that they will get along okay. You should do that when introducing a new dog to your current one anyways.

I dont see why not. These ARE a breed that can have alot more dog agression then other breeds. i would meet with your dog and the dog to be at a park or other neutral palce your dog has never been. See how they act. Do this a few times before taking the dog on. They will be both neutard. That helps a bit. I wouldnt leave them alone together untila few weeks of them knowing each other though. eck I have a collie and dont leave him alone with other dogs when we go to a house. If we need to go out for a bit (Normally its my boufriends parents house) I lock him in tot he basment and keep their dog upstaires. You can never be to carfull. Good luck. Staffs are not baby munching dos either.

you can, neuter them both and the above advice about the crate is very good, actually. They will need their own space, so 2 crates or dens for time out and sleeping is important. You can feed them separately safely.
It is possible, but you inevitably will get fights from time to time no matter how good a friends they are, it will happen. Stay calm, be prepared and give them their own space. Above all, you have to be tough, not too affectionate or they will take the p iss, you have to be number 1 pack leader - or expect big trouble!

I think that they will be fine. They are of the right age and temperament as you say. I would strongly suggest that you let them meet on neutral ground and OFF lead (Thus eliminating the "Fight" element of the "Freeze, Fight or Flight" syndrome!)
Get someone else to walk the youngster to the park and just meet with the two dogs off lead and they will start playing, while you two handlers just walk together.
Good Luck to you all. You sound a sensible owner and you shouldn't have any problems

It is possible they may get along, but be warned that two male dogs of similar size and breed will often become aggressive with each other. Are you prepared to keep them separated from each other for the rest of their lives should this occur? Think carefully.

Some do get on but as they get older they will find which is the most domanant one between them they are still babies at the moment what about when one has something the other wants they will fight for it but there fighting is mainly show could still end up with trips to the vets

As long as your current dog is well socilised and happy with other dogs then there should be no problems. Make sure the sbt you've been offered is well socilised aswell. For the first few weeks supervise them together at all times.

As long as one has been castrated then you should have much of a problem

I would think that 2 males will fight, especially terriers. You couldn't trust them to be alone together!

unless you are going to get two extremely heavy wire crates for them, don't even consider it. they can chew through just about anything.
look at the leerburg dog training site for crates - very pricey
