Now I am in the process of building a bigger cage for my pet today we tried to Sex my Guinea Pig but it was quite a struggle and it seemed stressed so we let it go I was searching and have found a few pigs for adoption from Animal Shelters in my area and I know many things on Intros but If I get an older Piggy will my Baby understand that hes Boss this was a General question and not about the whole Intro thing.

The baby will understand, for the moment, that your older pig is boss. When the younger pig hits puberty, all bets are off, and he may well wind up being the dominant pig.

Here's the bible on introductions: https://guinea-pigs.livejournal.com/3002707.html

It doesn't matter. If you put two boars together, they'll squabble eventually, if not at first.

What happens if it wasn't a boar I had and I had a fixed boar and female

You never know. It depends on the personalities of the pigs. There's no guarantee that any of them will get along. But most pigs will, if properly introduced and the cage is large enough.
