Dog & Field's Original Clone® range brings genuine field realism to gundog training, and the Dummy Ball takes that idea into a ball-shaped format rather than the usual canvas bird shape. Wrapped in a high-definition photographic canvas print of real goose feather patterns, it stimulates a dog's sight, smell and touch, giving the same visual and scent cues as the genuine bird while staying light, compact and easy to throw accurately for marking exercises. It is buoyant, making it suitable for both land and water training — useful groundwork for wildfowlers, since geese are most often taken on the foreshore or over water. The scent-retentive fabric means it can be carried in a game bag or training vest between sessions to pick up real game scent, bridging the gap between routine canvas dummy work and retrieving a bird as large and challenging as a goose in the field. It comes fitted with a rope and toggle for easy throwing and recovery, and, being a ball rather than a bird shape, bounces and rolls unpredictably on landing, burying itself in cover so a dog has to hunt it out.
