Product Review: Armadillo Foam - Blind Ambitions - Water fowling and dog training


Product Review: Armadillo Foam

Armadillo Foam Midi-Mallard:

Product Description: Roughly 2/3 the size of our life-size birds; floats well in the water; excellent for use with wingers; combination of size and balance encourages the dog to properly grip the bird in the middle; appropriate coloring to simulate the real thing; accepts scent; foam body helps to maintain a soft mouth; Range Extender Grip as standard equipment.  Designed for working with grown and adolescent dogs.

My Review: I got 5 of these to try out, and must say I am very pleased. They feel great, they throw good, and the dogs really seem to like them. They are much tougher than I thought they would be, and I believe they will hold up as advertised after using them several times. The paint seems to hold up pretty well considering it is painted on foam. My only complaint is that the midi-mallard doens’t come with the range extender grip liek the full size Armadillo Foam products do. It can be overcome by tying some knots in the rope however. You can find Armadillo Foam products at www.armadillofoam.com I will be buying more of their products in the future.
