If I shoot a snowshoe while bird hunting they retrieve it for me. Then we continue hunting birds. It's that simple. Often late in the season in ct when we go cottontail hunting I'll bring my shorthair (not pictured here) for retrieving duties out of the thick brush because my dads beagle won't do it.
I will say rabbits are usually targets of opportunity and I don't encourage them tracking fur if I know that's what they are on. Once in a while I'll shoot one because I want a rabbit in the pot, but more often I call them off and don't take it.
