female, 1yr. old. has great hunt and jumping own rabbits.
but she just barks about 100ft. after the jump and takes the rabbit on silent, reckon she will open more or not ?
been packed and soloed.

I can't speak for her Dave but most of the young dogs I've seen open more as they get older but I'm sure there are exceptions.

Try to get her in on some sight chases, a rabbit roll cage helps from what I've seen w/ pups.

there can be a fine line between too much mouth and not enough.
