"My Favorite Dummy on The Market"

Barton Ramsey is a well-known figure in the retriever world as the founder of Southern Oak Kennels and a co-founder of Cornerstone Gundog Academy. Whether he is training his labradors or mentoring other trainers, the first thing he reaches towards is our line of American-made Firehose Dummies.

Variety of Colors and Sizes

No matter what stage of the training journey he is in, we have a dummy that will fill his needs. From introducing a puppy to its first retrieve with our white puppy dummy to running cold blinds at 200+ yards with our orange medium-size dummy. Barton uses the variety of colors and sizes we offer to properly condition his retrievers to all game sizes and scenarios, including using a large dummy to prepare for those unruly Canada Geese.

Hold Scent Better

A favorite feature of Barton's is the ability for the firehose dummies to hold scent after many uses. He specifically highlights how important this quality is for a dummy while teaching a dog to work through cover and put on a proper hunt.

Durability in ALL environments.

As a pro-trainer, Barton relies on the durability of our firehose dummies day in and day out as a tool to operate his business. He knows that he can count on our firehose dummies' longevity while handling harsh and wet training environments.

Give our firehose dummies a shot and we promise you won't be disappointed.
