Shawn, I would say it's going to be a judgment call and this is why.
1. If Dog A has struck in the thicket and as you say multiple rabbits came out and Dog A has not established which rabbit it is running and goes into a check, then Dog B strikes 50 yards away on one of those rabbits. I would not minus Dog A other than his check.
2. If Dog A had established which rabbit it was running and picked his head up and ran to Dog B (who has struck on another rabbit), I would minus his strike and check. Then have him strike back in.
That's why I would say you would have had to see it and most likely it would come to a vote. Unfortunately those votes when 3 are not struck in are highly unlikely to go in Dog A's favor.
Rule 4 (b) states "When it's visually evident by the majority of the cast or a non-hunting judge that dog(s) quits a trail that is being worked, will be minused."
