I've had Max, a male, for 3yrs and he is 6yrs old. I just got a 5yr old femaile (Scrapper) from the rescue and I have had them together for 4 days now. I thought they would take to each other a little quicker but they haven't. They pretty much try to stay clear of each other and when they pass there is some low grunts and sometime a fight or two but no biting.

Can anyone out there that has been through this type of experience provide any advice on how to get these two to gel. Max seems more bothered by her than her of him. She has tried to approach him but he growls.

Can anyone give me suggestions?

sounds like their establishing a pecking order, as long as there is no blood drawn let them figure it out. But always have the last word so they dont think they run you as well.But I would think in time that they will figure it out.

Try keeping them tired out by walking and playing in the backyard.
It will pass, just let them work it out.
