Well didn't want to start this until now so I didn't jinx things. I started at 1.00pm. Well they have had five scuffles/chases and are now a sleep at separate ends. She does go over to him occasionally and runs off and stamps her feet.


This is at about 5.00 pm

No doubt it will kick off at feeding time :roll:

I'm feeling a bit calmer I have chickened out a couple of times so this is the longest I have been so far.

Sounds like you are doing fine, just go with it and you will get there. They look beautiful buns. Can you tell them apart?

Final up date. I have had to split them after a fight over a piece of food not as if there wasn't lots in there. I kept splitting them up but she just kept going back for more and would not stop. The sad thing is was that he was trying to groom her head and wasn't being aggressive.

She was lunging and biting and nipped a bit of his ear. She was scrapping at him with her front feet also.

It can be hard to watch but should be worth it in the end

Can you separate them and then introduce them on neutral ground? She is behaving dominant because it's her home perhaps?
