Sporting Saint Flinger Mid-Sized Marking Dummy by Laura Hill
Professional Gundog Training Equipment Designed with Trainer Input
The Sporting Saint Flinger Mid-Sized Marking Dummy by Laura Hill is precision-built Gundog Training Equipment developed with direct input from Laura Hill of Stauntonvale Gundogs. Designed around real training demands, this mid-sized dummy reflects practical field experience and structured marking progression. Handcrafted in the UK, it delivers the balance, profile and performance required for accurate marked retrieves and technical training sessions.
Created to bridge the gap between standard ½ lb canvas dummies and more specialist marking tools, the Flinger offers a slightly longer, slimmer profile to promote confident pick-up, improved visual focus and clean delivery to hand.
Why Trainer-Designed Equipment Matters
Effective Gundog Training Equipment should reflect how dogs are actually trained in the field. With Laura Hill’s practical experience shaping its design, this marking dummy supports progressive training scenarios including single marks, memory retrieves and technical line work.
The mid-sized profile encourages a secure central hold while remaining visible at distance, helping handlers develop accuracy, focus and confidence in marked retrieves. Its carefully considered proportions make it particularly effective for spaniels and retrievers transitioning into more advanced marking exercises.
