I had a Springer that would leave on occasion if you didn’t watch him. He had a purpose for doing so and that was to kill Groundhogs. He would be gone, but would leave a Groundhog on the deck and take off again if you didn’t see him. Normally two days max and he would be home covered in dirt, tired and his claws often messed up. He was going in after them.
