Sometimes mu jrt stays in the cover long after the rabbits bolted trying to find it and others the rabbit can go in cover in front of him and he just has a quick sniff and move on but when i piont he goes in and bolts it hes only bushing 8 months and was a year old when i started him he dont come from hunting stock and had no other to show him the ropes so im more than happy with him even on his bad days
