New Friend?

[J668]

Although Snowflake is not pining due to loss of her sister on Friday I am worried about her getting lonely as they have always been together.

My friend has offered me her (soon to be neutered) male to keep Snowy company.

Snowy was also the dominant sow and Gizmo (the new boy) has always been subordinate. In fact he has lived alone for the last few months because his brother bullied him.

My questions are ...
Will the dom sow, sub boar combination work?

Is it a good idea?

Will Gizmo be ok getting a partner now that he has been living alone?

My neutered Male was quite submissive compared to my Female who was very dominant
But I think the relationship between a male and female GP is very different to same sex pairs because they aren't the same sex
It creates a different atmosphere

One thing you must rememeber though
Is that Neutered males must be kept seperate to females for 6 weeks after being Neutered,
So if he is yet to be neutered then you need to think about this

Impossible to tell really.

Please make sure that a neutered boy is not introduced until at least 6 weeks after the operation

Please have a read of our bonding thread for any possible introductions Illustrated Bonding / Dominance Behaviours And Dynamics full of lots of helpful advice.
