Extreme hunt, listens great in the field, and a hound that is rabbit wise....

brains, If it is smart enough it will know to be quiet in the kennel to look in the thick stuff to find a rabbit to only bark on a jumped rabbit to come when its called to not pee in its own bowl and not to eat its own crap :lol:
