He goes a bit too nutty with the rabbit skin one. Mind you he's not 18 months old yet so when he calms down (in about 8 years or so) we might make some further progress.

I know what you mean...Bree is keen on a rabbit skinned dummy and will retrieve it but it's still a little half hearted. Quite often in the past when she was younger i've thrown a dummy towards her and it's hit her on the head, she's looked at the dummy then looked at me with a puzzled expression as if to say 'why did you just do that'!? She is a very keen hunter and holds point really well but retrieving is sadly a hit and miss affair with her. Strange thing is if you sit her, throw a dummy away and walk her to heal for 3-400 yards then send her she's like a lazer guided missile and usually goes straight to it and returns with it!
