Sporting Saint Rabbit Launcher Dummy | Real Rabbit Skin | Rabbit Rocket & Dual | Fits All Launchers

The transition from canvas dummy to real game is one of the most important — and most overlooked — steps in gundog training. Many dogs that are brilliant with canvas dummies hesitate or grip incorrectly when they first encounter fur, because the texture, scent, and feel are completely different. The Rabbit Launcher Dummy bridges that gap perfectly. The real cured rabbit skin gives your dog repeated exposure to fur and game scent in a controlled training context, so the transition to real rabbits and game is seamless. The Shooting Industry Awards finalist recognition confirms what handlers who use it already know — this is a genuinely innovative training tool. The Dual Rabbit at £19.95 is the ideal starting point; the Rabbit Rocket at £23.95 is for handlers who want maximum fur coverage and realism.

• Real cured rabbit skin — fur, scent, and feel of real game in a launcher dummy
• Two variants — Dual Rabbit (£19.95) for introduction to fur, Rabbit Rocket (£23.95) for maximum realism
• Flies along the ground or through the air — versatile for all launcher training scenarios
• Floats — suitable for water retrieve training
• Scent-injectable — add rabbit or game scent for advanced scent discrimination
• Fits all launchers and RC launchers — tried and tested compatibility
• Shooting Industry Awards finalist — recognised innovation in gundog training

• Handlers preparing dogs for rabbit work and ferreting days
• Dogs being transitioned from canvas dummies to real fur and game
• Spaniels and HPR breeds where rabbit flushing and retrieving is a core skill
• Handlers using remote control launchers for advanced distance training
• Anyone wanting to introduce fur and game scent in a controlled, progressive training context
• Water retrieve training — the dummy floats for versatile land and water sessions

• Allow to air dry naturally after use — do not tumble dry or apply direct heat to the rabbit skin
• Rinse with clean water after water use and allow to dry naturally
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the rabbit skin
• Inspect the stitching securing the rabbit skin regularly for signs of wear
• Inspect the launcher attachment point after repeated use
• Do not allow unsupervised chewing — this is a precision training tool, not a toy

Introduce the Dual Rabbit by hand first — let your dog sniff, investigate, and retrieve it on a short hand-thrown retrieve before ever putting it in a launcher. The goal is for the dog to associate the rabbit fur with a positive, successful retrieve before adding the complexity of launcher distance. Once the dog is retrieving the Dual Rabbit confidently by hand and from short launcher distances, progress to the Rabbit Rocket for full fur coverage. This progressive introduction means that by the time your dog encounters a real rabbit in the field, the fur and scent are already familiar — and the retrieve will be confident, clean, and delivered to hand.
