A general forum for the discussion of hunting with beagles, guns, clothing and other equipment and just talking dawgs! (Tall tales on hunting allowed, but remember, first liar doesn't stand a chance)

Like others have said, if you're keeping her for yourself and don't mind hunting alone, go ahead, keep her. It's not gonna hurt anything. Otherwise if you can't train her out of it, it's probably time to say goodbye.
If there isn't some verifiable cause for the aggression- jealousy is not verifiable- you definitely shouldn't breed her. It's not like she was beat. (I assume)
Still, what that paper describes (I can get the full copy if anyone wants it, it might be interesting) is far and away different from what the OP discusses. This isn't the owner showing affection to another dog, but simply being around one.
I should say that I don't believe dogs are capable of feeling jealous of an owner POTENTIALLY displaying affection toward another dog. One thing for a dog to get upset in the moment, it's another for a dog to postulate that an owner being near another dog means the owner is going to show it affection which then makes the dog jealous.
That's an awfully complex thought process that I don't think they're capable of.
Ive never whiped her only correcttion she ever got was shock collar and then in yard taining she aways turned down deer other then growling at them she started easy she is out of my breeding for the last 9 yrs thier bred to be fast and hate rabbits never had one act like her before
I don't know if dogs are capable of jealousy or not but I used to own a female that would always squeeze in between me and another dog if I was petting it and push the other dog out of the way.
