I have raised dogs that were the baddest in the yard and tried to always show their dominance. Some of these dogs wouldn't catch a hog but only bay.

I also have seen dogs that would get beat up by the other dogs and they would submit and these dogs were fearless on a bad boar.

I have seen dogs that are laid back and stay away from confrontations that were fearless.

The very best hunting dogs I have had have been laid back type dogs and played hard every now and then as pups but mainly were out exploring. But  when the tail gate dropped these were the first to leave out and usually they were the smartest.
