Great for Gun Dog Training All Year
October 2, 2023
I started out with Avery's smaller hexabumpers while my red lab was a pup, but overtime I realized quickly they were not giving him the feel of the weight of a bird in his mouth and needed something bigger and heavier. These jumbo bumpers were the perfect option, and have a very solid feel to them, with great weight (maybe 1/2lb or so each) and large enough to replicate the size of a bird that has been shot. Also, these Avery bumpers seem to be the most durable bumpers for the price, comparable to the new Gunner bumpers but at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommend getting these for your training bag.
Pros
  • - Large size mimics the size of a dead bird
  • - Great weight
  • - Easy to through soft-rope included
Cons
  • - Not good for infusing with scents for blind retrieves

Bogie's Favorite Dock Diving Bumper
July 12, 2023
We use them for dock diving toys, and Bogie loves this bumper!
Pros
  • color combination
Cons
  • he is hard on his bumpers, and chews them up so I buy a lot of these.

Great Bumper
February 22, 2023
My bag of bumpers was getting old and worn out. I thought something new/different might be in order. To be honest, I thought it would take my dogs a while to take to the new bumpers. Wrong, from day one, when given the choice they would choose these Avery's when working to a pile. I like the fact that they are larger/heavier, more like a real duck. Great product.
Pros
  • Size
Cons
  • None

AveryJumbo HexaBumper Dummy... the best ever.
August 31, 2021
We purchased six of these, two of which were gifts. I can't begin to describe how Hunter, our Labrador loves them. He does seem to have a better ability to see these (the black and white ones) in the waves than the single color bumpers. The reports from the dog owners that received them as gifts were equally as positive. This is the only bumper we will use in the future. Thanks for the videos on your site which convinced us to go with the larger ones.
Pros
  • Durable
  • Size
  • Grip
  • Multi color
Cons
  • none

I help at a rescue shelter. Most of the dogs are pit bull mixes and can be agressive/destructive chewers. These bumpers are the only thing that seems to comfort them and hold up to thier bite.
Pros
  • .The product is WELL MADE, Highly durable, and reasonably priced
Cons
  • haven't found any yet

My dog is addicted to these
August 14, 2021
I honestly think he dreams about chasing this all night long. He doesn’t realize it’s work and would do this all day long if we’d let him. I will say that they don’t seem quite as tough as they were a few years ago, but that’s my only negative. As you will see from the photo, the muddier this gets, the more fun he seems to have.
Pros
  • The perfect size and great color options
Cons
  • The loop that holds the rope seems to break away more easily than it used to.

Great weight and quality
April 20, 2021
I was pleasantly surprised when I received these bumpers. They have a soft feel, but a great sturdiness to them. I was concerned that my young, small mouthed female lab might trouble holding on to them, but she has no trouble with them. They angled sides make them easy to grip and the weight of them is great.

Best dummy on the market. I have 3 retrievers and they are hard on equipment. This is the only one that has lasted over a month.
Pros

Avery Jumbo Bumper
March 31, 2021
Great product! Bought a handful for to use as i got into handling with my pup and it made the transition smooth. Durable, realistic weight and worth the money.
Cons
  • The throw rope for each one had to be re-tied and fused because the knots had came undone right away.

Great Water Dummies - Avery Jumbo Dummies
October 6, 2020
I live in the UK and imported several of these Avery Jumbo Dummies for doing water training with my Hungarian Wirehaired Vizslas. I find that these dummies have just enough give to make them comfortable for the dogs to hold quietly in their mouths. Some other makes are a bit too soft and encourage the dog to mouth the dummy which could encourage them to mouth and damage a bird. Very pleased with these Avery Water Dummies.
Pros
  • Firm, good colors and size . Long rope makes them easy to throw.
By John

I have not been able to use these much yet, my dog is being a teenager. The are sturdy, have a great rope on them and I hope they fix some of his issues.

Switched from 1" to 3" Hexa Bumper
September 3, 2020
Our normal bumper is the 1” hex black and white. I switched to the 3” black and white for added weight to increase my throw distance. Triton is appreciative of my longer distance.
Pros
  • The weight and grip for me while still being easy for my lab to grab
Cons
  • My lab is tough on bumpers so he has already punctured
  • one of the two we bought. This was also a problem with the 1" so always need to have a spare.

works wonderfully for dock diving competitions
September 2, 2020
I have been competing in dock diving for several years now and these are my go-to. They hold up very well (none of my Malinois have soft mouths) and any time I order a new supply the shipping is very quick. I would highly recommend!
Pros
  • durable

My dog cannot live without it
September 2, 2020
We have a Newfie and we go to the beach every morning with his bumper. IT's a great product. The only one that lasted for so long. So many people at the beach ask about this bumper, because it always looks like new.
Pros
  • Lasts forever. Unless you lose it :-(
Cons
  • All dogs want to play with it. My dog doesn't like that.

August 26, 2016
The durability of this toy seems to be questionable. It is already flattening after on dock jumping competition. It will be very good for catching competition when i need a heavier toy that is soft to catch. I am not entirely disappointed and it will definitely be a keeper in my arsenal for that reason alone.

These bumpers are great! Avery changed the recipe of the rubber they used, and it was for the better. These bumpers are softer and help with mouthing issues with younger dogs. Just recently replaced all my bumpers with these.

Review for Avery Jumbo HexaBumper Retriever Dummy
July 2, 2016
Our dog has a 'hard mouth'... by breed. He's not a water dog or a hunting dog, but you can't convince him he's not. He loves to retrieve the Avery HexaBumper more than any ball or stick AND more than any other brand of bumper. It is unbelievable how he will pick the Avery out amidst an array of other 'fetch toys', which is what he thinks it is. He will jump off river banks to get it and also fetch it on land. It is convenient to throw because of he attached rope. We buy the Avery because it is more durable than any other bumper, and before we found this brand we would go through too many bumpers. These are durable. As long as we have Bentley, we will buy Avery HexaBumpers.

We train year 'round here and in the winter these bumpers work very well. They stay fairly soft and don't get too hard for the dog's mouth when it's cold and snowy.

This is a superior product compared to many that are similar. We prefer Avery Jumbo Hex Bumpers because they outlast all others, and our dog does NOT have a soft mouth, so Avery it is!
