Works excellent for teaching in the high field grass of the rocky mountains and for working with flowing rivers.

These are a GREAT training tool. Orange is the BEST color for training your dog to use their nose, since they are harder to see in medium to high cover. These are great to mix with white bumpers on drill, like wagon wheels, lining drills, ladders, and blind retrieves. I would recommend you have at least eight in your bag.

Overall I like everything, After 4 years of use I had to replace the throw rope and some of them cracked at the eye of the bumper so they go into the blinds bumper bag. They are soft, sit low in the water and I added some water for extra distance and to keep the dog looking for the mark in the water. I think white is a good color and it has it place for training.

The attached ropes, weight, texture, color, and durability are excellent and the price is lower than competitive brands.

These are a MUST HAVE in your training equipment bag. Buy at least ten or twelve. You will not regret it! They are durable and light. They hold up to lots of training time in the field and rough play. Easy to clean. A+++

As with the white bumpers, the rope, weight, and durability of the Lucky Dogs bumpers cannot be beat at anything approaching a competitive price.

My girl is going to be 7 this year, and the only bumpers that don't look like new are the ones the other dogs in the house get hold of and chew. The ones I can keep for just us might get dirty, but are as good as new.

All in all a good product, however, at times the dummys with the valve on them have fallen out on mine. It's not a problem as I just use those on the land for marking instead of in the water where they would sink and be lost.

Mainly like the dummies which don't have valves - durable and most are of a good weight for throwing.
Don't like the dummies with valves - the valves always fallout after just a few throws. It's a pain to have to re-insert (if you find the valve) and again, it doesn't stay in the dummy. We are constantly squeezing out water in our dummies which have lost their valves. Also, the quality of the plastic appears to have gone done over the years - the dummies have thinner walls and are much lighter making throwing for distance more challenging.
Thanks for taking the time to get feedback on these dummies.

Overall, I'm a fan, especially given the price. The all white design helps my 10 week old puppy pick this bumper out when he has some problems with orange bumpers. Compared to the half-white/half-black bumper, I'd say the all white one is almost as good.
It is sturdy with a nice thick throw rope that has stoop up to my puppy's chewing while he learns a soft mouth. The ribs are sized well to discourage a hard mouth in a puppy. My older dog doesn't seem too phased by them though.

Our dogs love to play "fetch" in the water....they are also very hard on their toys since all four dogs like to play tug-of-war and with their strength, they can destroy toys quickly. This is one of our dogs favorite - we keep two in the boat and two in the back of our jeep for anytime we are at the "water" playing.

We use the dummy for playing fetch at the beach. It's easy for me to throw and my dogs love swimming out for it it. The other dogs at the beach seem to love it too. We even had a Mastiff swimming in the ocean after it. It was his first time to swim and his owners were thrilled.

We have a black and a yellow Lab. The black one is a fetching fool. She fetches her bumper constantly on our daily morning walk. Excellent quality toy. My most recent purchase of these bumpers is the second time I ordered them because the first one I bought got lost. I would highly recommend this product.

I have purchases tweny of these bumpers this year for training my 8 month old lab. They are durable, you can throw them a long ways, and they are in the right price range. I use these bumpers 20-22 hours a week with my pup. I have yet to have one break, no rope troubles, and no punctures. I would highly recommend these. I have them in white, white/black, and orange.

I have purchased 6 different brands of dummies, and this was one of the better ones. Not the best one, that is "Soft Mouth Trainer". It has stayed pliable and did not become brittle or crack like many others.

The softness of these bumpers makes them preferred for running field drills. Both of my dogs are enthusiastic agressive retrievers who love to run drills. My older dog (GMHR) fractured a lower canine tooth on a hard rubber bumper a year ago requiring a root canal. These soft rubber bumpers are much more forgiving and safer to use. Excellent quality and highly recommended. The service from Gun Dog Supply is also excellent.

The Lucky Dog dummies are very well made, tough but soft enough not to harm the gums. My dog is very fast and often manages to catch the dummies. If the material is very hard he ends up with bloody gums. These are perfect. As with most dummies/bumpers they are not made for chewing so a determined hard chewer could do damage to the dummy if not monitored. Mine have held up very well. Steve Snell still has the best prices around.

I belong to a Retriever Club & We like them for Teaching
the Blind Retrieve.
I have 12 of them & I like them very much. Our club has 4 dozen & they work just fine. I would buy them again with out even thinking about it. And there is no telling how many the other members own.

I wish the rope was just a little thicker, as that would be more comfortable when throwing the dummy. The dummy works great and is easy to spot. While I don't recommend using it as such, it has lasted through numerous tugs of war when other dogs decide they want to play too.

They are awesome for training our younger dogs, we tend to buy a few at a time. Hard to lose them too! We also use them in the pictures in our ads and cards to demonstrate our dogs working ability..
If the dogs get a hold of them when we aren't looking they destroy the ends. It's really a pain.

Love the dummies. They are a great price and wear well.
I think last order I placed was for around 60, as we hand them out with the ribbons to qualifying dog and handler teams in the field, and in the conformation ring for placements in the field, and gun dog classes at our Annual National Breed Show.

It seems you have changed manufacturers because the latest bunch i got seemed smaller in size and the rope was not as long either. This made them difficult to control the toss. I prefer the longer size (11 inches). I think one time there was no rope and I bought some clothesline to make my own.
