Dog & Field Dead Bird Dummy – Wood Pigeon
The Original Clone Dead Bird Dummy range has been designed specifically to stimulate your Gundog’s three primary hunting senses – Sight, Smell & Touch.
We are now delighted to have extended the famous range of revolutionary dummies and bring to you, The Dead Bird Wood Pigeon!
The Dead Bird Dummy bridges the gap between dummy training and gets your dog closer to the real thing. By training our dogs to handle more life-like dummies, it prepares them for those more difficult game bird retrieves on shooting days. The more accomplished our dog, the more likely shot game will be retrieved, added to the bag and end up in the food chain. Thus making our sport more ethical and sustainable.
Sight – This super-lifelike Gundog training dummy features a true to life body size and shape with the added realism of featuring a head, wings and tail, which mimics a shot game bird whether being retrieved from the ground as a static retrieve or used as a visual mark falling from the sky.
Smell – Your Gundog’s nose is its number one tool to help it find shot game. Which is why we have used carefully selected fabrics to ensure maximum scent retention. By simply doing your dummy to your game bag or training vest, familiar scents will be carried to help your dogs recognition of the retrieve. Even better carry your dummy where game scent has been or is present to add that finishing touch of realism to your Dead Bird Dummy.
Touch – When making the transition from canvas to feather ,dog’s can often find the feel of the head, wings and tails of shot game a real issue. The Dead Bird Dummy offers you and you dog the opportunity to train in a low pleasure environment to overcome the issue of correct pick up, carry and delivery. During product testing we found that dogs had to think about their mouth placement and soon developed the skills to overcome the added dilemma of flapping wings, floppy head and tail feathers – preparing them for the real thing out in the shooting field.
The high definition photographic canvas print of real-life game birds feather patterns are designed specifically with the dog and hander in mind,. The advanced marking visibility and eye-catching realistic appeal of the dummy to help your train your dog with the convenience. Combine that with the real feel and scent absorbent, robust fabric ads the realism of the types of game birds your dog may be retrieving in the field.

Returning faulty goods
The Consumer Rights Act gives you the right to ask for a refund, repair or replacement if something you buy develops a fault. This right is limited to 30 days from the date you took ownership of the goods (this could be the date of purchase or the date the goods were delivered to you - whichever is later). After the initial 30 days, you can't demand a full refund in the first instance, but you still have the right to a repair or replacement. The retailer has one opportunity to repair or replace any goods which are of unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described. You can choose whether you want the goods to be repaired or replaced, but the retailer can refuse if they can show that your choice is disproportionately expensive compared with the alternative. If the attempt at a repair or replacement is unsuccessful, you can then claim a refund, or a price reduction if you wish to keep the product.
* The Consumers Rights Act 2015 (applicable to items bought in-store) You can only return store-bought non-faulty goods for an exchange or refund if the retailer has a returns policy. Shops are not required by law to have a returns policy.
**The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (applicable to distance selling)
The Consumer Contracts Regulations entitles you to key cancellation rights when you enter into contracts at a distance over the phone, online, from a catalogue. Your right to cancel an order for goods made at a distance starts from the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods. You then have a further 14 days to actually send the goods back. You should get a refund within 14 days of either the trader getting the goods back, or you providing evidence of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), whichever is the sooner.
Refunding the cost of delivery. The retailer has to refund the basic delivery cost of getting the goods to you in the first place, so if you opted for enhanced service e.g. guaranteed next day, it only has to refund the basic cost. You must cover the cost for returning unwanted goods, unless the retailer says it will cover these costs.
