Dog & Field's Original Clone range gives this 1/2lb dummy the same high-definition photographic feather print as the rest of the line, finished in a realistic grouse pattern. Half a pound is the lighter of the two common training weights, the natural next step up once a puppy has outgrown its first soft dummy and needs a bit more weight to build carrying confidence before moving on to the standard 1lb size. Grouse are among the lighter birds a dog may be sent to retrieve, particularly on moorland days, so the weight and printed plumage together give an early, realistic introduction to that kind of quarry rather than a generic canvas shape. The distinctive grouse colouring also helps with marking exercises, giving a clear visual reference for a dog to watch and remember. Made from durable canvas to withstand regular retrieve, hold and delivery practice, it's a natural fit for young dogs progressing through the early stages of gundog training, or for handlers building a species-specific set to match the birds their dog will actually work.
