There is a lot left to interpretation, in the description of a dog picking it’s runs, and a big difference between jacking and cold quitting, I will say this much, I can call my dogs off a rabbit sitting 400 yards away on a burrow when they take off, but if it was closer to than 50, not a chance.
Is that picking their runs? If it is I’m glad they do, or they would be dead from heat stroke or exhaustion, by mid day, literally running them self’s to death.
An old saying. Wake up Australia, Tasmania is floating away!
