A realistic Dog & Field Original Clone® Hen Pheasant dummy ball for pheasant handlers wanting a subtler hen-feather target for marking and hunting practice, designed to develop marking less conspicuous targets, hunting an area carefully and returning to hand.
Why We Recommend It
We recommend this model because it gives hen pheasant-focused handlers a reusable, consistent training aid with more visual relevance than a plain dummy. The Original Clone® print is distinctive, while the compact ball format adds genuine training variety.
Key Benefits
Introduces realistic quarry patterning in a compact, versatile format.
Creates a smaller target for more demanding marking and hunting exercises.
Useful for puppies building confidence as well as experienced dogs needing variety.
Easy to add to a training bag for short, purposeful sessions.
The hen pattern is a little less showy, so noses and concentration may be required. I recommend both. — Bailey 🐾

Inspect the canvas, stitching and throwing cord before every session; replace the dummy if damage could make it unsafe.
Professional Insight
Quarry-specific dummies are most useful when they support a clear training objective. For the Hen Pheasant version, use the pattern and compact target size to develop marking less conspicuous targets, hunting an area carefully and returning to hand. Change only one variable at a time—distance, cover, memory or weight—so the dog understands the lesson and confidence remains high.
Training Academy Tip 💡
Use the Hen Pheasant pattern with purpose: start where the fall is easy to mark, then add cover or distance gradually. If accuracy drops, simplify the exercise immediately rather than repeating a confused retrieve.
ProTrain Principle
Train for the quarry, progress one variable at a time and finish with confidence.
Complete Your Setup
Build a progressive set around this Hen Pheasant dummy with a lighter puppy dummy, a standard canvas dummy, a whistle and lanyard, and a larger or heavier retrieve when the dog is ready. A dummy bag keeps the equipment dry, organised and unavailable for chewing between exercises.
Dog & Field Original Clone Hen Pheasant dummy ball with durable canvas construction and a realistic high-definition feather-pattern print. Designed for supervised gundog retrieve training, especially pheasant handlers wanting a subtler hen-feather target for marking and hunting practice. Supports marking less conspicuous targets, hunting an area carefully and returning to hand. Not a chew toy; air dry after use.
