just a question cause i really don't understand the philosophy of it....what does hunting her by herself do? if you know what she will do putting her out there by herself(in my mind)will make her stay real rough cause she will see she has no help and feel she has to do all the work alone. with other dogs she could possibly learn that she doesn't have to be as rough cause there is strength in numbers. on the other hand i agree with mike...she will be what she is...all you can do is let her get popped a few times. if she doesn't back up then you got a dog that will be rough/catchy depending on how she is feeling that way. if you are catching hogs with her what's the problem? if she is hurting your pack sell/give her to someone that wants to give her a try MAKING sure that they know her faults and WHY you are getting rid of her.
I also believe she will be what she is "a rough dog" but I also believe huntin her in a pack will bring out the CATCHIER side much quicker.
I personally prefer the ruffer dog and would giver her a chance if she was a young gyp.
I think an encounter with a couple of larger hogs should make her realize her place.
Beejay also said he watched her in a pen, this probably played a factor on how she worked. At pens their are usually a couple dogs all wantin to get in the action and alot of barkin comin from various directions creatin a tense atmosphere even before she steps in.
