About Us

Paul & Anita in California 2006 with Decoy & Gypsy receiving a warm "Cali"

welcome and their first three legs of the first AKC titled Boykin Spaniels.

We are an avid outdoor family that enjoys upland bird hunting and waterfowl hunting. We bought our first Boykin pup,  'Decoy'  in December 1998. This little dogs drive and intelligence got us hooked on the breed.        We are now the proud owners of, or I should say, we are now owned by 9 Boykins.        When we are not traveling around the country hunting upland birds and waterfowl you can usually find our dogs competing in the Conformation ring, Weight Pull events, or different hunting competitions and tests. We believe that the Boykin Spaniel is the most versatile breed in the Spaniel family and our breeding program strives to produce the “Total Dog”. All our sires and dams are CERF and OFA Hip & Patella certified. We also have all of our dogs  participating in the CHIC program.  In each breeding we carefully take into account health, structure, temperament, intelligence and hunting desire. It is our intent to breed responsibly or not do the breeding at all. All pups are registered with the American Kennel Club Foundation Stock and United Kennel Club. Thank you for visiting our site. We hope you enjoy viewing our family of Boykins and look forward to answering any questions you have about the breed.
