I've not driven hogs a distance with any success, so take this for what it's worth.
Hogs that will rally will work given the right amount of time, pressure and skill on the part of dog and man.
I've gotten lucky enough to bay a good number of sounders now, but the most memorable was in Scurry County TX with Josh Heffernan. We both have stock minded dogs though they are quite different in style, they all have the feel for "pressure". A dog winded sign from a feeder, went to the hogs and they rallied up in no time with all the dogs there. We decided then and there to sit back, relax and let the dogs work this group as long as we could.

After a good while we went up there and played with the group, any way we went, the dogs moved opposite and kept the rally focused. Seeing as how we had no atvs or horses we decided to push them with Josh's truck and did for a spell. Eventually my best dog suffered an injury and We decided to bust that sounder, and let me tell you, after all that time "dog breaking" them it was durn hard to get them to leave.

One of these days we will have some friends along and drive a rally and film it, but for now its just fun getting them to rally
