Packing with Strange Dogs

[Big Dog]

I have an 11 month old female that can absolutely jump and pound a rabbit, but so far she will not run with strange dogs. What are some things that I can try to get her to pack up with strange dogs? She runs fine with all 8 of my dogs. I want to trial her when she is a little older so I have to solve this problem because she is going to be something special. I have already killed 30 rabbits in front of this dog and the last time I had her out we jumped 9 rabbits and she jumped 7 of the 9. Help me out.

Something that will work sometimes is to load your dog in the box with the other persons's dogs on the way to where you are going to hunt. Gives them time to socialize on the way. Sometimes this will work and sometimes it don't.

I had the same problem with a couple of mine. They would pack with my dogs but wouldn't go with strange dogs. All of my buddies couldn't run when i could, so a friend of mine took one for awhile . He would take it out with his and keep it on a lead. His dogs would get the rabbit up and going and he tried cutting my dog loose but it was to no avail. it still would pack in. Then he just kept the dog on the lead and try to get infront of the dogs. Once my dog saw the rabbit go by and here come the other dogs he turned him loose and off he went. He just had too figure out what strange dogs were chasing even thou he knew what my dogs were. It took less then a week and now both that wouldn't pack to strange dogs are now rabbit champions.
