Most of mine will, if the race ends suddenly and the dogs come back quick I pretty much can figure it holed. On the other hand if it's a loss you won't see any dogs so quick and if you look you'll find em' searching the area.
Agreed. If my dogs hole a rabbit they come back to me and search elsewhere. If it's a loss my dogs don't come in. Though my oldest female will sometimes try and dig the rabbit out and usually my presence alone gives her the cue to give up.
