Wondering if a Boykin is the right spaniel for me!?
I am looking for my next pup. I am an experienced dog owner but most of the mutt, Labradors or chihuahua variety. Love them all but am looking for a medium sized, gentle fun loving trainable dog. We have two small kids , pool, I hike and horse back ride too. We are active-ish but are also home bodies. Do you think a Boykin would fit in well? Any breeders in California?

She dearly loves a cardboard box. While I could take it from her she’s so happy I can’t bring myself to. Mags is such a good girl it seems a small price to pay picking up this shredded box.

Grooming help
What’s the best way to get burrs/stickers out of your pups hair? I tried brushing but ended up having to cut them out. Any advice? Pup for tax.

Next time someone asks if Boykins like the snow and cold....
20 degrees. Snow blowing has been done for an hour. It's still playtime for Dale.

Can boykins handle the cold?
I’ve been looking around for anew gun dog and recently discovered this breed. I live in South Dakota and was wondering how well they fare in the cold? Is there anybody up north with them that has any input?
Addition - I typically hunt pheasants over waterfowl so was curious how well they do in the field?

Anyone else have a LBD with epilepsy?
My 9 month old Boykin pup had a really scary seizure last week. I’m trying not to worry too much about the long term, but it’s hard. My vet said he is very healthy but this was likely the first seizure of a life of epilepsy. Anyone else have any experience with epilepsy in Boykins? I just really tried to get a healthy breed and hope my pup will have a long life. TIA. 💕

He always reminds me of Bambi, the way he gingerly folds his paws in. Such etiquette this boy has! 🤣
