The hen pheasant is the bird most retrievers will spend their working life collecting — smaller, lighter, and more delicate than the cock, she demands a soft mouth, a careful hold, and a clean delivery to hand. The Dog & Field Original Clone® Hen Pheasant Bird Launcher Dummy is built to train exactly that. HD photographic feather print canvas delivers award-winning 3D realism, while the swinging head, wings, and feet create the dynamic, articulated retrieve experience that builds the correct instincts for real driven game. Fits all dummy launchers with reduced recoil whilst maintaining distance.
Important: Dog & Field recommend using Green & Yellow .22 blanks ONLY with this dummy.

Why We Recommend It
The hen pheasant is often overlooked in favour of the more visually striking cock, but she's the bird that matters most on a driven day. Smaller and more delicate than the cock, she requires a softer hold and more careful delivery — and a dog that's only trained with canvas dummies or cock pheasant profiles can struggle with the transition. The Original Clone® Hen Pheasant gives your dog repeated exposure to the correct size, weight, and visual profile of the bird they'll actually be retrieving, while the swinging head, wings, and feet actively train the soft hold and controlled delivery that driven game demands. At £21.99 it's the most complete hen pheasant training tool available.

Bailey Says 🐾
The hen pheasant. This is the one that matters. On a driven day, the majority of birds your dog retrieves will be hens — smaller, lighter, and requiring a much softer touch than the cock. I have seen dogs that were brilliant with canvas dummies completely misjudge the hold on a real hen pheasant because they'd never trained with the right profile. This dummy fixes that. The swinging head and wings mean you cannot be careless with your grip — the dummy will tell you immediately if you're holding it wrong. My friends, if your dog is going to work driven days, train with this. The hen pheasant deserves your respect. 🐾

How To Use
Load the Hen Pheasant dummy into your compatible dummy launcher using Green & Yellow .22 blanks only — Dog & Field specifically recommend these blanks for this dummy. The articulated swinging head, wings, and feet mean this dummy behaves dynamically on the retrieve — introduce it progressively to dogs unfamiliar with articulated dummies, allowing them to investigate the movement before progressing to full retrieves. For marked retrieve training, ensure your dog has a clear mark before firing and send on your command. Use the articulated movement as a training tool — a dog that delivers this dummy cleanly to hand has developed the soft hold and controlled delivery that driven hen pheasant work demands.
Care Guide
- Brush off mud and debris after use and allow to air dry
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the HD print
- Inspect the swinging head, wing, and feet joints regularly for signs of wear
- Inspect the launcher attachment point after repeated use
- Use Green & Yellow .22 blanks only — as recommended by Dog & Field
- Do not allow unsupervised chewing — this is a precision training tool, not a toy
Professional Insight
Training Academy Tip 💡
As the pheasant season opens, use the Hen Pheasant launcher dummy to simulate the conditions your dog will face on a driven day — birds falling at distance, in cover, requiring a confident mark and a clean retrieve to hand. Fire the dummy into cover (light grass or bracken) rather than open ground to add the hunting element that driven game retrieves always involve. A dog that can mark, hunt out, and deliver a hen pheasant dummy cleanly from cover is a dog that's ready for the real thing. Start this work now and you'll see the difference on the first drive of the season.

FAQs
Why train with a hen pheasant dummy rather than a cock pheasant?
On a driven day, the majority of birds your dog will retrieve are hens — smaller and lighter than the cock, with a different profile and weight distribution. A dog trained exclusively with cock pheasant dummies or canvas dummies can misjudge the hold on a real hen. Training with the correct bird profile builds the right instincts from the start.
Why Green & Yellow .22 blanks only?
Dog & Field specifically recommend Green & Yellow .22 blanks for this dummy. Using other blank types may affect performance or damage the dummy. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for safe and effective launcher use.
Which launchers is this compatible with?
The Hen Pheasant Bird Launcher Dummy fits all standard dummy launchers, including the Bisley Dummy Launcher and the Sporting Saint Handheld Dummy Launcher. Always follow your launcher manufacturer's instructions for safe loading and use.
How does this compare to the Partridge Launcher Dummy?
Both are from the Dog & Field Original Clone® range at £21.99 with the same swinging head, wings, and feet. The difference is the bird species and profile — the Hen Pheasant is the driven game specialist, the Partridge is the walked-up and rough shooting choice. Many handlers own both to prepare their dog for the full range of British game birds.
