The Dog & Field Original Clone Dead Bird Dummy - Mallard is the premium step up from a plain canvas retrieving dummy, built specifically to bridge the gap between dummy work and picking up real shot game. Where a standard weighted dummy is a static, symmetrical shape, this one is a full-body mallard with a head, wings and tail, so it handles the way a genuine duck does in a dog's mouth - awkward and floppy rather than neat and predictable. The body carries an ultra-HD photographic feather print for true visual realism, and the fabric is chosen to hold scent, so keeping the dummy in a game bag or training vest lets it pick up the smell of real duck before a session. Mallard is the UK's commonest and most widely shot duck, taken on evening flights over ponds and flashes as well as picked from open water, so a dog that has already learned to find, hold and carry a mallard-shaped dummy correctly arrives at the pond with one less thing to get wrong. A fitted throw toggle makes it easy to send out by hand for repeated retrieves.
