Solo strike dogs

Years ago all my dogs were great alone but I tested all pups and turned them out alone just to see what was in their nature...every dog I bred was tested to range, strike, and stick with a hog...no training to speak of because the goal was for identifying and keeping pups born with "natural born" ability...

I now hunt a new pack of dogs and I do not have my own places to hunt...my dogs do not do well alone because i cast them together...when i cast one alone it will wait on company most of the time...sometimes they will go alone...most of these issues are caused by how i hunt them now...i can mix or match any two dogs and they will leave out quickly and they will find one pretty quick close by or a long ways off if needed...
Sometimes i don't cast them because my buddies dogs won't go to mine if they strike too far...so i keep mine tied back and wait for his to strike and then i cut mine loose...if his dogs don't strike i will cast mine at that time...i am about to get a big place and I will then hunt my dogs a different way...the way the dogs hunt has a lot to do with how we hunt them...I am talking about dogs that hunt...dogs that hunt can be molded to hunt in various ways...
