There is no training dummy more realistic than this one.
Designed, tested, and reviewed by Ben Randall of Beggarbush Gundogs — as featured in the Gundog Journal — the BG Rabbit is a lifelike rabbit dummy built to make the transition from training to the real thing as seamless as possible. Realistic ears, eyes, head, and legs. 700g of weight that sits and moves like a real rabbit in a dog's mouth. A training tool that changes how your dog behaves the moment it comes out of the bag.
Weight: ~700g. Length: ~48cm. One size.
- Lifelike rabbit dummy — realistic ears, eyes, head, and legs
- Designed and tested by Ben Randall of Beggarbush Gundogs, as featured in the Gundog Journal
- Correct weight balance — picked up centrally, head and legs flop naturally either side of the dog's mouth
- Teaches correct carry position — dogs learn to hold centrally for balanced movement, swimming, and jumping
- Slide across the ground to create a scent line — teaches line scenting as well as marking
- Triggers instinctive focus in dogs — novice and experienced alike
- Invaluable for rabbit shooting and rabbit trial preparation
- ⚠️ Training tool only — supervised use in structured sessions
"Whenever I get the rabbit dummy out of my bag, I can see my dog's reaction change. Even the novice dogs that don't know what a rabbit lift prick their ears a little bit more and focus that bit harder. Likewise, the experienced dogs also seem to switch on even more than usual, because this is as close to the real thing as possible." — Ben Randall, Beggarbush Gundogs

Why We Recommend It
Ben Randall puts it better than we can:
"Whenever I get the rabbit dummy out of my bag, I can see my dog's reaction change. Even the novice dogs that don't know what a rabbit lift prick their ears a little bit more and focus that bit harder. Likewise, the experienced dogs also seem to switch on even more than usual, because this is as close to the real thing as possible."
That reaction — from novice and experienced dogs alike — is what separates the BG Rabbit from every other dummy on the market. It doesn't just look like a rabbit. It behaves like one in a dog's mouth, encouraging the correct weight balance, carry position, and delivery that handlers spend months trying to develop with standard dummies.
For handlers training for rabbit shooting or rabbit trials, this is the tool that closes the gap between training and the real thing.

Bailey Says 🐾
"I will be honest. When Craig first produced the BG Rabbit from his bag, I experienced what I can only describe as a moment of profound professional focus. The weight, the balance, the ears — everything correct. I retrieved it centrally on the first attempt. Ben Randall has clearly spent time around dogs of exceptional ability. I respect the work." — Bailey 🐾

How To Use
Hold the back legs and slide across hard ground or grass to create a scent line before sending your dog. For marking work, throw overarm — the weight gives good distance. Always supervise use. This is a training tool, not a toy — do not leave unsupervised with dogs between sessions. Store in a cool, dry place.
Care Guide
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not leave with dogs unsupervised — this is a training tool, not a toy. Allow to air after use. Handle with care — lifelike materials require appropriate storage to maintain condition.

FAQs
Q: Is this suitable for all breeds?
A: Yes — the weight and size make it most suitable for retrievers and larger spaniels. The 700g weight is intentional and teaches correct carry balance. For smaller breeds or puppies, start with a lighter dummy and progress to the BG Rabbit as strength and confidence develop.
Q: Can it be used for scent line work as well as marking?
A: Yes — hold the back legs and slide it across the ground before the retrieve to create a rabbit scent trail. This teaches line scenting as well as marking, making it one of the most versatile training dummies available.
Q: Is this suitable for puppies?
A: The BG Rabbit is best suited to dogs that are already confident with standard dummies. The 700g weight is significant — introduce it once your dog is physically and mentally ready for a heavier, more realistic retrieve.
Q: Is this a toy?
A: No — this is a professional training tool designed for supervised use in structured training sessions only. It must not be left with dogs unsupervised.
Q: Why does it cost more than a standard dummy?
A: The BG Rabbit is not a standard dummy. It is a specialist training tool designed by one of the UK's most respected gundog trainers, built to replicate the weight, balance, and appearance of real game as closely as possible. For handlers serious about their training, it is worth every penny.
