Depends on how old they're. As my older boar has only lived with his baby friend for a week and his already boss! Same in the past before aswell.
As for our girlies they're the same age and the one pecks the other now and again.
Also the 'teenage' phase can make the dominance phase seem longer

There 8-10 weeks at first Popcorn was really bossy but i think now Cookie is trying her luck abit! i just dont want them to hurt one another! hopefully they'll settle down soon

I have a piggie called Cookie haha!
Our girlies were together since 6 weeks, we was worried too about them hurting each other as the one can really peck! But after 4 months they have seemed to settle down! Sure yours will
