Hare was 12 lbs. Parker once retrieved a hare from a rangefinder measured distance of 373 yards.
As for personality, he is 1/2 clown and 1/2 evil genius. Honestly, he is a huge suck who will literally climb into your lap if you let him. Like most hunting dogs, he will figure out how to get himself in trouble if he is not exercised frequently.
In the stubble he will punch out 3-400 yards if there is some birdy habitat to check out, but usually ranges from 75- 150 yards. In close cover he shortens up a lot, but honestly we rarely hunt forest.
One thing he used to do, but hasn't for a long time, is bay like a hound - and loud like a hound as well!!! I would love to run him on cats, but don't dare to run him by himself. Maybe if I had 2 or 3 more.
