Good bumper
November 7, 2020
This is a good bumper. I have a 5 month old lab who is just starting to retrieve, this is one of the few things he will actually bring back to me.

Decline in durability
October 16, 2020
I have used a number of different bumpers over the years, but settled on these Averys as my preferred type and have used them exclusively for water retrieves with my Chessies for over a decade now. I don't hunt, so didn't really train them to have soft mouths. As a result, over time, the dogs would bite through them, creating openings and bite holes that allowed water into them. In the past, this would take months and dozens of outings to be serious enough for them to make the holes big enough to let enough water in to sink them. The dogs are well trained to return them directly to me, so it's not like they get a chance to hold on to them and gnaw on them.
The most recent batch that I purchased last month cut and tore on the first outing and will not last but a time or two more. It would be interesting to know if they changed the composition of the bumpers that soften them to bite pressure. At this point I am disappointed in a product that I have been most happy with in prior purchases. So I am on the fence as to purchasing more. May need to experiment with the other brands again. But I gave up on some of the others for this same reason.

My dog loves playing fetch with this toy!

My 16 week old GSP Agnes just LOVES this toy. She can play fetch with it until she just plops down exhausted! It is great, easy to see and lightweight to throw numerous times. Will get a larger one when she is fully grown.

Smooth Bumper
September 4, 2020
I bought several black and white combo bumpers. Dog seems to like them. They are smaller than my other ones which tend to make them sink even in short grass and become invisible. Because they are smaller, you can fit a bunch in your bag or bucket. There are no sharp spots on them that can cause the dog's mouth to bleed. I can huck them quite a distance.

Our neighbors had this for their hunting dog; we bought some just for our puppy to have as toys, and water training tools. Works great.

My dogs love them, but they are Dobermans who use them for retrieval play and so they DO NOT have a soft mouth on them and destroy them really quickly. But I'd say if used by a dog the way they are intended they would get a 5.0 easily!

Durability is lacking. Lasted less than a week before it was punctured and the rope came out. It's a lot softer than the other bumpers I ordered. Could be good for a teething pup.

Very good and durable bumper, I highly recommend these.The black and white are great for hand thrown marks. They are very visible in the air, but not so obvious on the ground, which is preferred.

I actually bought the Large size first after reading reviews, but it was too big for my pup. He was 5 months when the bumper arrived. We took it to the dog beach, and he went after it every time I threw it. We're still working on the bring it back part, but the bumper is holding up to its end of the bargain. Built well, easy to throw, easy for the pup to hold, easy to clean and durable. Bonus - he doesn't seem to want to chew it like he does everything else.

These are soft and dense. Easy to throw, and my dog can't see them in the grass. Got these to work on memory marks. That is, dog sees the fall and has to mark it. He can spot a white bumper from 50 feet; isn't forced to remember the exact fall area. The orange are near invisible to him, he has to concentrate and line right to them. Makes him a better marker. I'll stick to canvas for pile work, because $$$, but there are a quality item.

I really like the black/white bumpers better than others, and the hex design does seem to help the dogs with really soft mouths hold them a little better.

I use this bumper for DockDogs training and competition. I like the alternating black/white so my dog can see it against all backgrounds. The weight is ideal, it is easy to toss but doesn't get blown off track in the wind. When this bumper comes out, she knows it's time for fun!

I love these bumpers. No valve for the boy to chew off. Soft on his mouth and most of all the shape. He's a smaller dog, just under 40 pounds, and he has no issue retrieving and swimming with this dummy. We use them for dock diving.
