Realistic Game-Style Retrieve Training for Progressing Dogs

The Sporting Saint Rabbit Dummy is designed to bridge the gap between basic training and real-world retrieving.

Handcrafted in the UK, this durable canvas dummy introduces dogs to more realistic size, weight, and handling, helping them develop the strength, technique, and confidence needed for advanced gundog work.

If standard dummies are where your dog learned the basics — this is where things start to get serious.

Why Use a Rabbit Dummy?

Real retrieves aren’t neat, uniform, or predictable.

The Rabbit Dummy introduces:

• More realistic weight and feel
• Improved grip and carry development
• Better preparation for real game scenarios

This helps dogs move beyond “just fetching” into controlled, confident, and reliable retrieves — the kind you actually want in the field.

Available Sizes

• ½ lb – ideal for dogs transitioning up from puppy and lighter dummies
• 1 lb – the standard for more advanced retrieve work and conditioning

These sizes allow you to progress training safely, building strength without overwhelming your dog.
