The Boykin Spaniel

Sporting Group - AKC Foundation Stock Service (FSS)

Photos courtesy of Carolina Kennels

They say that the Boykin Spaniel is so light you can pick it and the duck up and into the boat. A pleasant and intelligent friend. It is a versitile flushing and retrieving dog who enjoys the water and is a great swimmer. The Boykin does well in obedience and is much smaller than the normal hunting/retrieving dog which can help it in agility trials. They bond well with a family and will want to be a part of the daily activity. Swimming and jumping in puddles is always considered a great past time, especially the puppies. While grooming is minimal (depending on the dog's activity) it is known to have ear infections and special attention must be paid to keeping the ears dry and clean. It is the state dog of South Carolina.

Book Suggestions


We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.

If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue -- be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.
