    I see lots of posts talking about dummies....what are they?!! I've worked out they're intended for training gundogs in place of real pheasants but does it look like a pheasant or what? :oops:

    Thanks, I'd never heard of them before...I'm not from a hunting background despite wearing the obligatory Barbour :rolleyes:

    Your pup is though. :) Retrieving is his birthright. :)

    I'd love it, really love it. So would she, I know. She's ecstatic ball retrieving! I'm a pretty keen shot for an amateur (have only shot in an alley though). Persuade me to take it further...

    It's up to you. Get a good book. :) Find a trainer. Quit with the over excited pet ball throwing, otherwise you'll never get her steady. :)

    If you are in the UK, have a look at the Gundog Club books. Pippa wrote them.
