I've been enjoying the same with my terrier past few weeks. Getting some tidy bags and cracking pre season sport.

 

It's a right buzz when you see the terrier hunt a line nose down tail up zigzaging on the scent like a spaniel, into the cover and you hear the pace pick up and then suddenly the terrier starts screaming on the arse of a rabbit........ crash bang it's out and running, smooth swing and over it roles. Out comes the terrier hunting for the line again, sometimes needing a bit of guidance with a hand signal, finds it's rabbit and makes a proud retrieve holding her head high.

 

Rivals a November rough shoot over spaniels even if I do say so myself.
