Lil Bit wouldn't have anything to do with Beamer when I got him. I just left them to their own devices and they made friends in their own good time. There was no fighting or anything, Lil Bit just ignored Beamer. Except if Bruce, my husband, had been out and when he comes back in the house Lil Bit always runs to him - she is his baby, but Beamer showed a little jealousy then and there was some growling. But they get on fine now. Just takes a little time sometimes.
Lil Bit had one kind of food she had been on for several years, but for Beamer I bought the food his breeder had been feeding him as I didn't want to change his food drastically. I found Lil Bit eating his food one day and Beamer eating Lil Bit's!!! (Guess the other's food is always better
). Now they both eat the same food. But Beamer was a day short of a year old when I got him, so dry food was fine.
As for names, how about some pics, so we can figure out what name suits him?
