DF 100g Dummy - Teal & Snipe | Pocket-Sized Gundog Training Dummy

A standard dummy is fine. Most dogs will retrieve one without much bother.

But there's a difference between a dog that retrieves and a dog that hunts. The hunting part - the nose down, the tight pattern work, the precise find in cover - that's built in training. And the dummy you're using matters more than most people think.

Big dummies are easy to find. That's not always the point.

These are the Dog & Field Original Clone 100g Dummies. Teal and Snipe. Small. Light. HD feather-printed canvas. And genuinely one of the first things I reach for in the training bag - whether I'm introducing a ten-week-old pup to its first retrieve or doing precision hunting work with an advanced dog that needs a proper challenge in thick cover.

Here's why they're in the bag at every session.

They're the right size for precision work. A 100g dummy doesn't crash through cover like a standard 1lb does. It sits tight. It's where it landed. The dog has to actually use its nose, work the area properly, and find it - not just follow the noise or the disturbance. If you want to build a dog that hunts properly and marks accurately, train it on something that rewards that. Small dummies do that. Big ones don't.

They work from the very first session. A new pup doesn't need a half-pound canvas lump in its mouth. These are 100g - compact, light, and the right size for a puppy retrieve from day one. Get the feather pattern in early. Get the dog used to picking up something that looks and feels a bit more like the real thing. Good habits start here, not six months in.

They fit in your pockets. Properly. Half a dozen of them. Which means off-season training without a game bag, a van full of kit, or a helper. Just you, the dog, and enough dummies to run a proper session. That's how most good training actually happens - unplanned, out on a walk, ten minutes when the dog's in the right mood. These make that possible.

Both variants. Same compact 100g size. Same HD feather print canvas. Same throwing toggle options.

Teal - HD teal duck feather print canvas. Compact and realistic. A cracking small dummy for any dog, any stage of training.

Snipe - mottled brown feather print. Sits invisible in rough grass and scrub. Makes the dog work for the find. The right dummy for building a proper hunting pattern in tight cover.

Run them alongside your standard canvas dummies or use them as the go-to for precision sessions. Either way, you'll have enough in your jacket to keep going all morning.

Stocked at Kirkbourne because big dummies build retrievers. Small dummies build hunters. You need both.
