Why We Recommend It
The cock pheasant is the most visually distinctive game bird your dog will encounter — the iridescent plumage, the long tail and the vivid head colouring are nothing like a plain canvas dummy. The Clone® Cock Pheasant Dummy is the most direct and cost-effective way to introduce this visual stimulus before the season opens. Handlers who use Clone® dummies consistently through the summer report dogs that are visibly more confident and decisive on their first pheasant retrieves of the season — less hesitation at the pick-up, cleaner delivery, and no distraction from the unfamiliar shape and colour. At £12.50 it’s an investment that pays back on the first drive.

- Bridges the visual gap — prepares dogs for cock pheasant recognition before the season
- Vivid colours improve marking — easier for dogs to locate in cover and on the ground
- Familiar dummy handling — traditional construction, no adjustment period required
- Throwing toggle included for accurate distance throws
Bailey Says 🐾
The cock pheasant. Now we’re talking, my friends. This dummy has the most magnificent colours I have ever seen on a training aid — vivid, eye-catching and frankly rather splendid. I spot it immediately at distance, which Craig tells me is the whole point. I retrieve this one with particular enthusiasm and I think it shows. If you are preparing for the pheasant season, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you train with this dummy. It is the closest thing to the real bird without actually being the real bird. Which, for training purposes, is exactly what you want. 🐾

How To Use
Substitute the Cock Pheasant Dummy directly into your regular training sessions in place of a plain canvas dummy. The familiar weight and handling means no adjustment period — your dog receives vivid visual pheasant stimulus with every retrieve without any change to your training routine. For marking exercises, the vivid cock pheasant colours make the dummy highly visible at distance and in light cover, which can be useful for building confidence on longer marks. Progress to the Dead Bird Dummy – Pheasant for the full physical game handling challenge as the season approaches.
Care Guide
- Brush off mud and debris after use
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth — do not machine wash
- Allow to dry naturally before storing
- Check the throwing toggle periodically for wear
- Store away from direct sunlight to preserve the vivid canvas print
Professional Insight
Training Academy Tip 💡
Use the vivid colours of the Cock Pheasant Dummy deliberately in your marking programme. In early sessions, place the dummy on short grass against a neutral background where it is easy to see — your dog will mark it quickly and confidently, building a positive association with the pheasant visual pattern. As training progresses, gradually move to longer marks and then introduce it into light cover (rushes, thin bracken, short heather) where the colours still give enough visual contrast to locate it without being trivially easy. This progressive visibility reduction builds genuine marking ability. In the weeks before the season, run one session where the dummy is placed in heavier cover with no visible mark — your dog must use nose and memory alongside their recognition of the cock pheasant shape. By opening day, the vivid plumage of a cock pheasant will be a familiar and positive trigger for a confident, decisive retrieve.

FAQs
What is the difference between the Cock Pheasant and Hen Pheasant dummies?
The cock pheasant has vivid, iridescent plumage with distinctive head markings and a long tail — a very different visual stimulus from the mottled brown hen. Both are available in the Clone® range. Handlers preparing for driven pheasant shooting should ideally train on both to ensure their dog is confident with whichever bird they’re sent for.
Can this be used for water retrieves?
It can be used in water but is primarily designed for land retrieve training. For dedicated water work, the Easy Grip Rubber Water Dummy is more suitable.
How early in training should I introduce this?
As early as possible. There is no disadvantage to introducing the cock pheasant print from the start of retrieve training. The longer your dog has been familiar with the visual pattern, the more confident their game handling will be when they encounter real cock pheasants in the field.
Should I use this alongside the Dead Bird Dummy?
Yes — they complement each other perfectly. This dummy introduces visual realism in a familiar format. The Dead Bird Dummy – Pheasant adds the physical challenge of head, wings and tail. Use both for the most complete pre-season preparation programme.
