There is nothing like a good Boykin. Am on my 2nd. Bay aka Babydog sleeps with me every night has flushed and retrieved everything from prairie chickens, huns, sharptails, to grouse, doves. in addition to finding six wounded deer. She prefers pheasants or quail killed with a Parker.

They are true southerners. They only bark when asked to do so.

Eli
 

Eli is at my feet now.He is out of Carey Knowles kennels in Mcray Ga.He is a tough loyal dog that can hunt and be a house dog and protector(Chessie background).They are eager to please their owners but cannot be forced.Very intelligent dogs that demand proper dog ettiquette.

Carey Knowles is great.

Beautiful dogs George.

And what a lovely boat.... :envy:

Beautiful dogs George. And as to the "Southern thing", my wife and family are from Arkansas. When we were dating I was in Fayetteville for my first gathering with her sister/brother-in law and Parents. At Easter Dinner, somehow talk came around to my future father-in Law saying something about the "war of Northern aggression". I was confused for a moment and then realized he was speaking of the Civil War. As a boy from New Hampshire I just kept my mouth shut:shock:

Well now imagine that !

I have the one and only Spaniel I've ever owned and it's a Little Brown Dog and you might imagine who turned me on to the breeder to get her from !

Matter of fact Jimmy Hall's youngest Boykin is a littlermate to mine !

This pic was taken at the breeders the day I picked her up she was 7 weeks I think now she's now 16 months .

Such a cute baby!

At 16 months she now weighs 25 pounds .
