I recently lost my hunting buddy of 8 years.I am looking for a Boykin breeder that doesn't want total control of breeding rights.I will be running the dog in H.R.C tournaments when its ready any help would be appreciative thanks

This is my first boykin. She is about 5 months right now... 8 weeks in the pic. Have you ever owned a Boykin?

I have never owned one but been around them quite a bit the only local breeders have about a 2 year waiting list.My buddy who runs in tournaments owns one and she is a great little dog.Where did you get yours from?

Don't know these folks so don't vouch for them, but got this email the other day from them..

"We will have a litter of boykins in April if you are still interested in a puppy. Please let me know as we are preparing a wait/deposit list. Thanks.

thanks for the reply and ive tried those websites still not what im looking for im looking for dogs with titled peds but we will see thanks for everything

where do you live?

here are a few pics of mine from this week. I got mine from a local guy who has a female from brandywine creek. His brother has the sire up in Oregon. Both of the parents are extremely well bred with an alphabet of titles and certifications. Most boykin breeders are doing there best to keep the breed as clean as possible. Thats why most try to limit registration to dogs that are eye, hip, and heat certified and with at least a senior hunt title. I cant register my dog with the boykin spaniel society until I do all those things. They just recently became AKC recognized. if you would like I can find out when he plans to breed again... I highly recommend a dog from him. I would also look at Brandywine, J&L, and Mossy Oak.

milwaukee,wi the only breeders we have here is j and l kennels they have great dogs but have a long waiting list about 1.5 years from my understanding

Did you check with the breeders over in the carolinas?

Frontier Retrievers in Oklahoma has boykins also

Found this on another site. Don't know how to link to it so I coppied and pasted, hopefully it works.

Here some pics of Haydee today when we were working a little. She's a little heavier than usual, since she has started to show a little.
