Dog & Field Clone Pheasant Dead Bird Dummy

Full-body Dead Bird Dummy with head, wings and a long tail - not a flat canvas roll
High-definition photographic print taken from a real cock pheasant's feather pattern
The long tail is the training point: teaches a dog to gather and carry it cleanly rather than drag it
Floppy head and working wings add a genuine pick-up challenge before the dog meets a real bird
Real-feel fabric holds scent for nose-led retrieve work
Works as a static ground retrieve or a thrown marked fall, with a throw toggle fitted
Cock pheasant is the classic bird of the UK driven day - useful prep for the peg or the picking-up team

The Dog & Field Dead Bird Dummy - Cock Pheasant is a full-body training dummy from the Original Clone range, built with a shaped head, wings and a long tail, printed in high-definition photographic detail from a real cock pheasant's plumage. The cock bird's tail is the point of this one: it is long, loose and awkward to carry cleanly, exactly the kind of pick-up that trips young dogs up on their first driven day, and training on a dummy that behaves the same way teaches the dog to gather it properly rather than dragging it. Between the floppy head, the working wings and that tail, the dog has to think about mouth placement in a way a flat canvas dummy never asks for. The fabric also holds scent, so retrieves are trained on nose as well as eye. It suits a static ground retrieve or a thrown marked fall, with a throw toggle fitted for the handler. Part of the wider Original Clone range covering the UK's main game species.
