Good basic training bumper. My dogs chew them when I'm not looking and any bumper gets a hole in it with that treatment.

We used this dummy for play retreiving in our pond. It did not last very long with our dogs. We lost the black plug after a short amount of time, the rope fell off, and because they were mouthing it quite a bit, the plastic quickly cracked and it sunk. We like the Avery brand much better! The 3 Avery ones that we started using early in the spring are still floating!

Well it was ok until kids left with pup and he chewed it up... The 2nd one the valve failed so takes on water. But fo the price. All is good!

Whats not to like?

Nice basic bumper. Light weight, which lets me throw if farther, but easier to puncture if the dogs sneak a chance to chew. The valves are giving out, but I've had them for a while. A good value overall.

Best bang for the buck

The rope is just the right length for nice long throws.

What's not to like? You can spend a lot more money ... but why? For two years our lab has retrieved this dummy out of water, tall grass, thick brush ... it just keeps coming back!

Wish the rope was a little larger. It would be less likely to come out of the eyelet of the dummy. The dummy is holding up great!

Durable.

Very durable and float well even in big ocean swells! Even great for the dog park!!

Very durable, excellent quality

Are ok. They are rather lightweight and don't carry well in the string winds that we sometimes get in Oklahoma. I prefer a bumper with a little more weight to it.

I was using it today. My dog loves it and automatically retrieves it and brings back to shore. We had a dog today who had never been swimming and she got the gist of it right away and after sharingI it once with Devon, my dog, she started to retreive on her own. Great fun !

My GSP is super responsive to the white Lucky Dog Plastic Dummy, as well as the Black and White Dummy. It's pretty bomb proof if you keep other dogs away from it that don't realize it's not a chew toy. I can tell that it is my dog's favorite retrieval work tool.

He was able to break each dummy into little pieces in a couple minutes. He has a hard mouth but this was happening on retrieves right out of the box. Really poor quality.

I would like the rubber to be a little softer,but otherwise it is a great value for the money.

I bought this to teach my lab puppy to retrieve from the water. We don't hunt, but needed something of quality that I could rely on. I'm tired of 'toy quality' floats that just don't stand up to any real use. This Plastic Dummy did the trick...and Gundog provided the product at a fantastic price! I could buy three of these from Steve Snell at the price of only one from the outdoor superstore! The white (as I read from Steve) is the best for training the new pups- and are easy to see bobbing in the local lake or bay. I've tried almost all water venues and it works great. Heavy enough to throw some distance and good quality to withstand the dogs repeated bite. The rope is secure and never detaches which gives it an extra dimension for the dog to catch and pull if he doesn't want to mouth the whole body, or who's mouth is not big enough yet. The only reason I bought several is the fear of losing them in the water-not of any fault of the float, but if I throw it too far and my pup gives up. This happened to me once in tidal water, but she's since grown up and can hold her own now. THANKS STEVE SNELL for providing quality products for a reasonable price. The knowledgable staff and friendly service is tops in my book!

Had these for five years, and there is nothing wrong with them.

Zeus knows we're going swimming when he sees the dummy come out of the truck. Good quality has stood up to a lot of abuse. Thanks Steve

Great for running blinds and just playing around. I would like to have some bigger bumpers, but they are to expensive.

Nothing to dislike. Great dummies.

These dummies hold up great and are very economical. I highly recommend them.

It is a perfect size and weight for throwing and carrying and easy for Zoe to see, even in the water. All the other dogs at the park try to steal it from her! It is very good value from a price and performance perspective.

Great dummy. Like the adjustable valve. Very durable rubber and rope material. Good value.

Dummy is a little soft and there is a plug a the top that the dog like to chew.

Love the value of the Lucky Dog Dummy! We use them for exercise/play. And they are lightweight, so throwing them for hours (on and off!) is tolerable for the humans! Thanks for stocking such a great product.

The rope is sturdy and does not hurt your hand to throw. The bumper is rugged and stands up to abuse.

I previously purchased LL Bean plastic dummies for my dog's exercise. The LL Bean throws are inferior to the ones from Gun Dog Supply as my Pit Mix has yet to chew through the dummie and start to rip it apart. I will continue to purchase from Gun Dog Supply. Gun Dog Supply has great products, including a leather collar I purchase for my Pit.

Dog loves this thing! Whenever she sees it, she goes nuts and will retrieve it for hours. Durable and a great value.

This was really fun until the dog chewed it up. Would be nice to have one made of that indestructible plastic, but for now I just use it for throwing only and put it up when I\'m done.

Bumpers have worked better than Avery's version thus far. Hopefully the plastic won't get brittle in the colder weather this winter.

I like that it's soft for the dog's to pick up, but it doesn't take long for them to chew a hole in one.

Creat a differant or better knot on the string, firm up the plastic a bit

Good success overall. The valves do pop out easily and are lost, which allow them to take on water when working water retrieves, but I just generally keep a couple of good ones for that.

Its fine overall. Another inch or inch and a half on the throw rope would allow it to be thrown further.

The only bumpers I'll ever use.

They have worked great for me. I use them every day.

Very durable throw, great color, very bright.

Good - just don't leave them alone with a young dog, they will pull the plugs out.

Been using these for years, rarely have to replace for wear & tear, usually they get lost.

For the money you can't beat Lucky Dog Dummies! I have both sizes and there great. The best part is I can buy them online from gundog and have them in a couple of days.

Great fun for the dog, she loves it!!

Good size and functions fine on land, but the valve on it never worked on it from the beginning, so when it is used in water, I have to squeeze out the water after training.

Hold up very well.

No problems. Great as always.

Has held up well to heavy use.

Big yard to throw these...dogs LOVE them! Sometimes they decorate the trees, that's why I order so many. Then when they finally fall out of a tree- my dog thinks it's a new one. Not used for training- these dogs need exercise and this toy is the best!

Training dogs on a daily basis requires equipment that will last. I have found these to be one of the better training bumpers that I have tried.

Not durable at all. After leaving the dogs with the dummy unattended for less than 5 minutes, the end was completely chewed off the rope end of the dummy.
