Boykin Spaniel

The Boykin Spaniel breed was developed by South Carolina hunters in early 20th century as a versitile retrieving dog of superb hunting instincts which could work both on land and water. The Boykin spaniels are sturdy, friendly, eager to please good family dogs. The coat of the Boykin spaniel can be of either chocolate or liver color. The coat sheds minimally and ranges from smooth to wavy, extra wavy and curly. Boykins make friends with everyone and are very good with children. In the USA Boykin Spaniel can be registered with the AKC FSS.

When visiting a litter, a potential owner should ask to see documentation of the Boykin Spaniel litter's parents' clearance from OFA or PennHIP for hip dysplasia and CERF for cataracts. Do not buy from a breeder who concentrates solely on physical beauty at the expense of personality. Although skin allergies, hyperactivity and aggressiveness are not widespread in Boykin Spaniel breed, you should be aware of them and ask the breeders if any of these problems are seen in their bloodline.
