Review for Mallard D-100 -- Dokkens Deadfowl Trainer Duck
August 5, 2011
I don't hunt with my dog, but he loves to retrieve these out of the pool. I've bought several of them over the last couple of years. They're pretty durable, but they do finally end up a bit chewed up. LOL...
It must be instinct, but these drive him crazy, he gets so excited when he sees me pick it up....
Thanks for a great product.

I love my Deadfowl Duck dummy. It makes a good transition dummy going from smaller birds in the fall to the larger birds in the winter for the great Nebraska duck hunting. Thanks Steve

My Dokken has held up well under repeated use. The best alternative to real ducks. Light weight so pups can carry easily.

The Dokken Deadfowl duck dummy looks real floating in the water. It is a good training tool for water work.

Hi Steve
My Brit doesn't really like to rerieve the Duck. I'm not sure if it is too unrealistic or what. She will go for dead chuckers and even frozen birds. Sorry I cant't give it a great review. I love everything else I have gotten from you.

Pros: Durable, realistic weight and shape, hard plastic head encourages proper bird hold, dog prefers retrieving dokken over bumpers
Cons: Power grip is an option - I think it should be standard
Also have a Dokken Deadfowl pheasant dummy - I use it in conjunction with pheasant scent for training. Works great - really sharpens my dogs tracking and scenting skills in the off season.

Great training tool, helps them get the feel of a real flopping duck in their mouth. If I were to say there was a downside was the head was to heavy and to hard. after a while they get tired of it hitting them in the face and want to start picking it up by the head. Other than that it gets a thumbs up from me. Its time for me to order some more. Great job Steve!!!

I bought the duck as a toy for our EOD dog to use in the pool we have set up. The dog really likes the duck and the pool and so far the duck has held up well over the last few months.

The water toys I bought, dummies and the Dokken dummy are holding up well, I have to tell you, I am not training water fowl retrievers, I have two lab mixes that are maniacs and one got hurt on a stick, (bad throat injury, she's OK now) so at swim time no more sticks! The dummies are a perfect substitute and are very durable. The Dokken dummy still floats, but "Puppy" took a big hunk out of it. I guess hunting retrievers don't get that rough.
I would recommend your products to anyone who has dogs that llike to swim and retrieve....

I have 7 dokkens. I have broken the heads on 2. I was loading them in the truck and dropped them on the concrete drive and they broke right behind the eyes on both. A rubber head would be much more durable?..

hunt tests, obedience, tracking, agility and therapy visits
One of our dokkens rolled onto the floor in the house, and the head split in half. The dogs don't seem to notice, so we go ahead and use it! Some of the dokkens that other members of our golden retriever club have used for years are beginning to have pieces come out of the rubber bodies from where the dogs bite down on them as they are retrieving. I'm not talking about chewing up the dokkens, just regular use.

Great for dry training... water training is not advised with this product, as the material absorbs alot of water and becomes water-logged. This makes throwing much harder and also makes the dokken bird smell after a couple weeks of water work. Overall I would purchase this again for dry training, but never again for water training. I have found the avery ATB is a much better all around choice as it does not take in water and can be used on dry land as well. It does lack legs and the throwing rope may not hold up quite as well as a dokken rope but the dokken itself wont outlast its own rope. Overall I am not too happy with the Dokken...

Most realistic waterfowl training dummy I've ever used. The injectable scent and weighted-head features of the dummy quickly teach a young dog not only to retrieve a duck but also the best way to carry it.

I like everything about this training tool. It is rugged enough to have survived a few winters of training, it holds scent very well. Most importantly it is large enough so a dog will not bite down hard, thus helping if you have a pup with a strong mouth.

I like the Dokken overall. It will get a funky odor at times if left out in the elements. Seems to come about when doing more water work, The material is good and they last as long as any other dead duck bumper I have used. They are great coming out of wingers. I even use the little teal and quail out of box launchers when training my pointers. I am still using some from 3 years ago.

Very durable. I train two out of every three days so they get a lot of use. I currently have about twelve assorted duck and one big Canada goose dokkens. I also train with a group often and use my equipment. They hold up extremely well.
The only negative I have is a lot of the heads have broken, but it doesn't effect the use of the product.

After a few months of using the dokken regularly, both on land and water, it has held up quite well. The foam body has a few scuffs, and minimal tooth marks (thank god for a non-hard-mouth dog). My only two gripes thus far are that it would have been nice if these came with the throw ball (similar to how GDS provides a throw rope with all their plastic bumpers), and also that the body gets dirt and grass stained very easily. Aside from those two relatively minor issues, this is a pretty good product for keeping your dog trained on size and weight of a real bird, when real birds are hard to come by. I'd buy another!

Both my dogs think the Dokken is the best thing going!!
They get pretty worked up over training bumpers but if they see the dokken come out...you would think it was the real thing. Any concepts that require some extra motivation, bring out the dokken. A big reward in their books.
We have had Dokkens in the past and have lost some but we have never worn one out!!

I have been pleased with my Dokken. It has survived many years and several dogs through their formal retriever training. It has especially help with one of my dogs that had a hard time picking up large hard bumpers, he was more receptive to training with the Dokken. The Dokken is also the best transition to real birds that I have found in training.

Overall good product and very practical for retrievers. The goose I have though is so heavy it's tough to throw any distance. The head fell off (rope came out of the head?). But one of my Labs goes nuts over the goose more than any of the ducks. I actually like the Avery ATB over the Dokken. Little more durable it seems and they don't get funky smelling over the years.

We really like these! We start all of our young dogs on them. Puppies have no problem with them, they are light, soft without being too soft and the color makes them easy for us to spot. Great product! I don't have anything negative to say about them.

This dummy is perfect for what I use it for. The weight is very very close to what our birds around here weigh, so the dog is ready for anything I can knock out of the sky.
It's construction is well done, we use this every day through out the summer and is not the worse for wear.
