This canvas is the first one my dog picks in the back pile. Has not seen a lot of water use yet, so that’s why I didn’t fully rate it.
Pros
  • Soft, good size
Cons
  • Not sure how it will hold up when wet yet

Labs Love to Retrieve!!!
January 4, 2022
We had another similar product that our Chocolate lab loves to retrieve. It eventually met its demise after Charlie secretly chewed through. Fire hose material is tough and required for most chewy dogs. We bought 4 to alternate to get Charlie to release at the dog beach. Recommended by bird dogs everywhere.
Pros
  • Everything.
Cons
  • Eventually a dog chews through the cover.

I have not used the dummy enough to find out how durable it will be, It appears like it will hold up fine. My dog seems to like it.

Variety Needed

This Dummy is great to add variety in the objects used to help the dog understand that there are different sizes of bird she will be required to fetch

Pros
  • They are broke retrievers now we'll two workin on Gretta

Nice size, INCREDIBLY durable, floats nicely, dog loves to retrieve it
September 3, 2020
This is my dog's favorite bumper. The size nicely approximates a real bird, and it floats well in the water. And with its tough exterior and cord, it has held up better than any other bumper I've had; it hasn't degraded in sunlight (the orange color has faded some, but it's also been drenched in mud. but no deterioration of the fabric and no holes), it's been pulled through briars, it's been hidden in muddy marsh, and it's withstood chewing dogs that are still learning a proper 'hold." My chewer rips other cords to shreds but has not damaged this one at all.
Pros
  • Size, weight, toughness, cord, dog preference. Can use with scent.
Cons
  • Holds water more than plastic bumpers (but not as much as I would have thought)

I really like the toughness on these. I would prefer a grommet on top to replace the rope once in a while. I know that I shouldn't allow my dog to play with them outside of training, but I do. So she chews very hard, and they have lasted so far. The only reason I put 4 stars instead of 5 was I am always looking for something less expensive.

While other dummies get chewed up within weeks, these are the same as a dummy that is still in use after many months of abuse. They are indestructible.

Great for training. Floats great in the water. Because of the soft cork inside even my 4 month old pup can pick it up. Helps with confidence on picking up something larger.

Perfect retrieval toy for this size dog. Great on land or water. Usually end up losing them before they wear out. Caution, other dogs at off leash sites will love them too.

These bumpers are very well made and do not get heavy when wet. The long throwing rope helps to really get it out there.

Very durable. My golden carries it correctly, but my shepherd punctures holes in it with his front teeth. It's holding up very well. Great product.

May 29, 2014
Because my young lab is on the sensitive side and has a really soft mouth, he didn't really like the knobby plastic bumpers we had been training him with. He would fumble and drop them all the time. We switched to the real duck medium size bumpers, and he loves them. He holds them with confidence and doesn't fumble around like before.

I love it. Heavy weight. My dog loves it. She took about a week to destroy it, which is a long time for her. Even now she looks for that one to take outside when we go play. Good weight for throwing and holds up well to her bite. Since I use this for a toy and not training for retrieval, she chews on it a lot. I will definitely buy another one.

Great product, very durable. My dog LOVES the feel. This size can be a bit bulky for the dog to have in it's mouth, so I tried the slimmer (2") version, and it's great too!
