I have a couple mallards and a bunch of teal. My dog definitely likes to retrieve these more than normal bumpers. She has a different pep in her step with one of these in her mouth...

I have a couple of these for use in the boat for when times are way slow or the hunt is done. They do the job!

Sky, our black lab loves it.

Dog loves it

Just what I wanted

My lab immediately took to this mallard bumper. I like the weight to it as well. I’m looking forward to doing some water work with it

I'll be honest, I'm writing this for my dog! He loves it. It's his favorite bumper to work with and he gets almost as excited with it as he does a dead bird. We don't use it every day, but it has held up nicely over the 6 months or so I've had it. It is easy for me to throw, it gets my dog excited for training, and is easy for him to pick up cleanly. I would highly recommend adding this to your bumper collection...if not for you, for your dog!

I have the mallard and teal versions of these and the body and weight of the product is excellent. The head needs to be harder as it is very soft and encourages young dogs to chew and retrieve by the head.

Used bumpers mostly for my pup but wanted to get her something with a little bit more size and feel to it so went with this.
Looks good and feels good to the touch and she loved it!
That being said started to fall apart after one trading session - the head busted off on her 4th retrieve, the knob on the string fell off on the 10th throw and then I just let her play with it after that and within 20 minutes it was completely split down the center.

So overall cool product and good idea just not very durable .

Well put together. Great product.

Over the years I have used several different training bumpers, I purchased each color and dead bird mallard. Bumpers are used 90% of the time over water. Bumper float well in the water and they are easy to see in the water. Both labs focus on securing the bumper in the middle and they haven’t retrieved near the end of bumper or string of the bumper. Recommend if you are looking for a quality training bumper.

I own 4 personally but have my hands on about 20 of these regularly with the training group. Dogs love them, they get more excited over these than the regular bumpers. Use for marks and blinds and haven't had any quality issues.
