The Sporthund Knut Fuchs Havatar is an adjustable 650 g wooden dumbbell for hold training, designed to tackle one of the commonest retrieve problems: chewing. K9 Store is the exclusive UK distributor of Sporthund.
Move the side panels with the Allen key so your dog can only take the dumbbell in the front of the mouth. A restless grip then presses uncomfortably while a calm, firm grip feels right, so the dog learns a quiet hold almost by itself.
- 650 g wooden training dumbbell with adjustable side panels
- Flat extended bridge for learning to hold still
- Round bridge to ease the switch to an IPO-compliant dumbbell
- Both bridges drilled through for a cord; use with or without the side panels
- Extra-long bars for presenting the dumbbell sideways
- Also helps dogs that throw the dumbbell backwards
- Includes: round bridge, flat bridge, 2 side panels with Allen screws, 1.5 m cord, Allen key
- Registered utility model
Use it to build a clean, calm hold before moving on to IGP 1, 2 and 3 retrieve dumbbells.

Please note
Because of the thread inserted into them, the side panels are somewhat less robust than dumbbells made of solid material. Treat them with a little more care, as throwing them hard onto hard ground is more likely to cause cracks than with standard dumbbells. This item is designed for developing the hold, not for throwing.
Competition rules
- IGP dumbbell weights for the retrieve on the flat: 650 g at IGP-1, 1,000 g at IGP-2 and 2,000 g at IGP-3.
- On trial day the organiser supplies the dumbbells, and every competitor uses the same ones.
