It’s a great bumper for larger dogs. The larger size bumper keeps the dog from wanting To chomp down when retrieving.

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.

We use them for dock diving toys, and Bogie loves this bumper!

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.

Easy to see on land or water yet not so easy that it’s not a challenge.

I've been training retrievers for over 35 years. Many MH SH and Jh love the durability of the Avery bumper. I keep 48 on my truck at all times.

Great product just don't use in sub zero weather.

These are a Christmas gift so I haven’t been able to test them out; however they seem to be of great quality.

My dogs love to fetch the avery hexabumper. It's easy for them to spot in a lake or out in the ocean.

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.

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.

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.

These are the only ones I use. Very durable design and color. Easy for the dog to hold.

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.

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.

The exact quality I expect from Avery and the great customer service and price I get from Gun Dog Supply.

Helped my smallish, soft mouthed dog pick up 3" bumpers.

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.

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.

Fast shipping, and great product! My pup is ear to ear!!

Would definitely buy more when needed.

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.

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!

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.

Ends are brittle. Broke off after a few months.

This design allows for a more positive hold and increased air flow.

Best training bumpers. Dogs love them.

I use black and white. Dogs see the orange as gray so orange is not good.

We love these, But my dog likes them more.

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.

Excellent product! Very well made!

Love them. Just pricey.

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.

Longest lasting dummies on the market.

The hex bumpers are holding up very good. The dogs like them, and so do I. Thanks for selling such a great product.

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.

Very good product. I will be buying more heavy for their size, so throwing long marks is very easy. Very good material.

Got all three. Haven't tried all of them yet, but I love them. The shipping was great.

The rope came out after 4-5 throws.

Great. Already have some the softer. My dog loves them. Not like cheaper ones. They are harder. Dogs do not like the harder ones.

The black and white ones are easiest for them to spot in the air!

Too soft, not good if you're training your dog to force fetch. I have used Avery bumpers in the past and these are very soft.

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.

Great product so far.

Echo loves her new 3 inch Hexabumper! She competes in dock dog events and got a new personal best of 23' with her new bumper! Thanks, Steve - way to provide great customer service and quality products!

Great training tool for my dog. I like the size and shape. It seems to keep the dog from chewing and developing a hard mouth.

I look for new bumpers to compete in dock diving competitions. My lab catches it easily. Awesome quality. This is my second order from your company. The shipping was fast. They arrived in time for Christmas. I will purchase from you again.

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!
