Best Whistle Choice

[Mills51]

I have a French Brittany pup that I have started training, and would like to purchase a whistle. What whistle do you prefer and why.

I like the pitch overall, kind of the tenor of whistles; some of the high pitched ones make me want to put a pencil through my eardrums The Thunderer is capable of a big range of sounds so is great for lots of different commands. It's very good in the wind, too.

I like the double sided whistle. This one is different than what most use. I use one side fro recall and the other for HARD downs.

Whichever whistle makes you want to reach for it less would be a good choice.

My God given whistle, won't be mistaken for any other and won't spook birds.

Thanks for the replies, I never used a whistle with my last two dogs. However, I do see the advantages of using them.

For recall (long distance) the Acme Tornado T2000 -- it seems to carry further than the Fox 40.
For everything else Ray Gonia pea whistle.

I like the roy gonia special with pea.

Roy Gonia was bought out by Sport Dog. My favorite Gonia was the one with removeable side plate's. I carried two, one with the pea in it and one without. Can't get that one any more. So I did get the reg orange one. Doesn't work well at all. I chucked it and went back to my dime store whistle.

Supposed a lifetime warranty. I buy at least one or two a year due to having one issue or another with'em. Never tried capitalizing on the warranty before...
