Bisley 1lb Advanced Dog Dummy

Bisley's 1lb Advanced Dog Dummy is a canvas training dummy built for progressing a gundog's retrieve work. Weighing 1lb (450g), it gives a young or improving dog a realistic sense of the weight and feel of a bird, making it a natural step up once the basics are in place. The tough canvas construction is sealed to float, so it copes well with water retrieves as well as work on land, and it's finished with a plastic toggle that makes it easy to grip and throw consistently to set marks or blinds. Where puppy dummies tend to come in bright colours for easy spotting, this Advanced version is in a darker, less conspicuous finish, which encourages the dog to hunt with its nose rather than simply running to what it can see — a useful stage in building a more capable working retriever. Suited to spaniels, retrievers and any breed being trained for the field, it's equally at home in the garden, on training days or out on a shoot. Handmade in Britain and sensibly priced, it's a dependable piece of kit for ongoing retrieve training.
