It is the same as coonhounds .You will be able to tell by their voice and speed and straight line running when they are on fast game. They will get a fast site chase on rabbit but will be short lived.

I had a similar experience with a pup. I knew he could jump and run his own rabbit by witnessing it, but sometimes he would start something I just wasn't sure of. We started running him with an older dog who was straight as an arrow. If the pup opened and the older dog did not in 1 minute, then it was attitude adjusting time.
