AZ: Neapolitan males living together

I have a 22 week old Old English Mastiff/Neapolitan mix and I really wanted to get a pure Neo but I read online that Neos do not do well living with other male dogs. Is this true and is getting another one a bad idea? Or does it just depend on socialization and training as it does with pitbulls and other breeds that get discriminated against? The new dog would be 16 weeks old. I also have a 17 week old female Pitt mix. (I am not going to breed them so both males will be fixed after 1 year of age).

I wouldnt recommend putting 2 dominant males together.. you might have better luck with 2 females co-existing without aggression problems

I have 4 dogs. 3 little ones (one of which has a major attitude problem) that are older and 1 EM puppy who is now 13 months. I have my hands full with this many dogs and the thought of doing it with fairly dominant pupies would be overwhelming. All the dogs you are mentioning require tons of work and to have three so young I can't see as being a good thing. How long have you had the neo mix and pit mix? Do they get along well at this point?

What do some of you with dominant breeds think?
