i just traded a nice young male with a similar style. on a hard check, he might drift off 75 yards and get another rabbit going. same when you first turn loose. if one wasnt struck pretty fast, he would go til he got one. a high percentage of the time he got the first strike, but i like the dogs to hunt out an area more thorough than he would. that was his only negative to me, but it was big enough to trade him off. i though the would out grow it maybe, but when he turned 2, i decided he had had enough time. too bad, he was a very tough dog, just would range out way to far to make a productive gun dog. guess what im saying is, hope you have better luck than me
