Perfect for water retrieves
August 7, 2025
Easy to see in the water. Durable.
Awesome product
June 17, 2025
Totally satisfied
Don't last very long
January 13, 2025
They are quite thin and easily crushed and ripped. Now to be fair my dog is a German Shepherd and probably has a stronger bite than a Lab, but they last about a half hour of retrieving.
Pros
- Size is good and the rope length is good for getting a long throw
Cons
- Thin walls easily destroyed
Get them

These are great for people like me that are training one dog for personal use. I don't know how good they will be after heavy use though. Probably will be good still.
Pros
- Cheap.
- Good for pile work.
- I use them for whatever.
Best Option Around!
August 28, 2024
These have been great for pile work for both of my British Labs. Durable and they don't stiffen up when left outside like some other options I've used. Second time I've purchased these and I will again.

Great cheap bumpers to do pile work with the pups.
Can’t beat the price

Decent quality bumper at a great price. Perfect for training but Will not hold up to focused chewing by your dog.
Although we have no formal training, this bumper is easy to throw a long distance, great contrast with the ocean, floats well and the dog is obsessed with it. It wouldn’t last long as a chew toy but that’s not what it’s made for. Great substitute for a stick or a ball at the beach!
Pros
- High quality - bumper and rope
- Great price
- Heavy enough to throw far
- Floats well
- Easy to clean
Great buy!

Great price on a good training dummy.
Too puny for a lab

She ate it on the first throw

Highly durable and very effective for my retriever Bella. Being a bit older I can still get the dummies out there a ways.
Good quality for the price
A Dog’s Dream
June 23, 2023
We purchased a second set of these dummy”s to share with the dogs that come and visit.
They ALL love chasing and retrieving them when thrown. Our dogs are not hunting dogs, just playful labs living the good family life on water. They float- have a great launching tie string, and knobby for easier water retrieval. Love our dummy’s…. YOU WILL TOO
Sweepstakes prizes
June 23, 2023
We use these as sweepstakes prizes for puppies at Kennel Club of Philadelphia conformation show. Because chesapeakes are TRULY dual purpose. Many times this is the first intro to a real bumper for these young dogs. The excitement is so intense with some of them when they receive this as a prize is wonderful to behold.

These are very nice and affordable. Rope is the right length if not perfect!

Excellent bumpers for great price!!!
April 24, 2023
These bumpers are smaller in diameter than a lot of my bumpers I train with but training waterfowl retrievers many different sizes of bumpers are needed so no problem there. I was skeptical when they first arrived because the material they are made out of is not quite as thick as a per se Lucky Dog bumpers. I was extremely amazed at how far you can hand throw these bumpers. Plenty of distance. These bumpers are perfect to use anywhere from training a puppy to a full grown dog.
Pros
- Excellent price, great for puppies and large breed dogs, fast shipping and delivery.
Just what the doctor ordered
April 24, 2023
At the moment I can only do 4 stars since I haven't received my puppy yet. These bumpers and the rest of your products come very highly recommended from Southern Dream Retrievers and the Hero To The Line organization for training a future champion retriever. Once I bring (Legend) my dog home and put these to use I'm sure I will be able to add the 5th star.

half black/white bird dummy
December 28, 2022
Would not recommend at all. From the first retrieve, the black part is just a painted-on coating and started to come off in my dogs mouth as soon as he bit down on it. I took it away and refuse to use it any more.
Cons
- Paint comes off in dogs mouth

Orange bird dummies
December 28, 2022
My dog is a very strong chewer. It could be more heavy duty to keep from getting chewed up as quickly.
Great price on good bumpers
December 23, 2022
My only wish is they were US Made! Otherwise great deal on these bumpers. I not only use them but provide one to each of my puppy clients. Wonderful fetch toy for them to play with during fetch time?
Pros
- Price, fetch desirability

We love these black and white bumpers in Montana come wintertime. We can still train on nice days and see them on the snow. Happy Training!!!

Affordable and Does the Job
November 5, 2022
Works well for my lab. I dipped the tip of the rope in quail scent which helps him find in heavy cover. So far seem to be good quality and the price can't be beat.
My dog loves these

Best dog toy ever for fetch in the water.
Perfect for tossing
August 2, 2022
Got this bumper in orange. Perfect for river retrieves with my pup. Note -- if your goober dog chews off the top while in the river it will sink. LOL,- don't ask. I got it back! :-)
Great Dummies!!
June 2, 2022
I have bought all kinds of Dummies for our dogs and despite being among the least expensive, these are of no less quality than the expensive ones. In fact, they come with a rope, float, are flexible and a lot of fun in the pool, in the field for training and in the ocean! Our labs love them and I'll never buy the other brands again.
Pros
- Float, flexible, durable and last a long time. The black/white can be seen from a distance and are easily found in the thick. They don't have an air valve to increase/decrease air pressure. This is a good thing as the valve often gets ripped off quickly and will fill with water.
Cons
- I can't think of any Cons at this time. I've been buying these for 2 energetic and competitive Labs. They destroy every other toy in minutes. Not these!
It works for what you need it to.
April 28, 2022
would like to have a little softer plastic. but overall happy with the product. Not bad, not great.
Decent for the price
April 20, 2022
These are good for the price. The dogs can destroy them pretty easily if I don't pay attention, so it's good they're not too expensive.
Cons
- made in China. I wish Gun Dog Supply would bring back the American made bumpers that were just a tiny bit more expensive than these.
These are great!

Great bumpers that don’t break the bank. This is my 3rd order

Great bumper
January 21, 2022
These are great bumpers, reasonably priced, and sturdy. My dogs love them!
Good for the price
January 21, 2022
These are cheap and effective. They do get a little hard in the cold and a little soft in the heat, but so will any plastic item. The dog was able to chew through one, but that is because it was left out. Cannot beat the price compared to other name brands charging triple for 1 dummy.

Ordering my white bumpers was quick and easy.
Excellent product as expected
September 16, 2021
The bumper was exactly as expected and my 5 month old pup loves retrieving it both in and out of the water. I would definitely recommend this to others and buy it again in the future if necessary.
Good product

Amazing Experience
June 19, 2021
We have been looking for a company we can order from and have it not so distant and one if we had a problem we could call and talk to a human. This company was not only that but they called me! We will definitely purchase from Gun Dog Supply in the future!

Excellent value
June 4, 2021
I needed bunch of dummies for doing pile and T work, and with the low price of these, I figured they were worth a shot. So far, I have been really impressed. I bought several of both orange and white. The quality seems good. The plastic is soft enough to be slightly pliable, and the knobby texture is easy for my dog to grip. I would definitely purchase these again.
Pros
- Good quality, good price, excellent value
Quality bumpers at low price. Highly recommend for trainers.
These were the least expensive training dummies I could find and seem to work fine. My Chesapeakes have seemed to consider training dummies their favorite chew toy in spite of my efforts to keep them out of reach except during training i.e. any dummies don't seem to last long once they get ahold of them. These work as well as any of the other dozens of dummies I have tried, at a more reasonable price. Very prompt and professional service from Gun Dog Supply too.

My hobby or addiction as some would say is amateur retriever training. These bumpers are used every day of training. The bumpers are easy to throw , easy to store and easy to clean up.
I ve had good luck with these bumpers having a long career.
