You can always go for a field bred english cocker, Ones imported from England are damn good bird dogs, I'd avoid US lines. If your interested let me know ano I'll forward you the info.

Thanks but I want a Boykin .

Boykins go well with Parkers. I will take both on a dove hunt in an hour. Check the web for the Mid-Atlantic Boykin Spaniel Club or the Boykin Spaniel Society 803-425-1032 and ask about litters. I drove from Mississippi to South Carolina for dog I have now. There nothing like LBD ( little brown dog ) Best of luck Dan

Craig,

I've had three Boykins. I'm with you, there is no substitute. English cocker's might be good, but they are still cocker's. A lot like mules to train. If they don't get it they won't do it. Wish I knew who had good working Boykins as I would love to have another from good retrieving stock.

Don't hate on what you don't understand, that's why you buy from England directly, the best bloodlines not watered down by weak breeding here.

Hey will retrieve all day long, fur & feather, retrieve a wounded goose from a frozen river and run fur all day long. Did I mention he has more heart and courage then any other dog I've owned or met?

Michael,

I didn't say I hated anything. I said I loved Boykin's

Craig my Boykin came out of South Carolina, may be some good Virginia breeders but why limit yourself to one state. I would go to some of the Boykin clubs events and look at as many as possible

That's all good and fine for you . If I wanted something to shoot quail or grouse over I'd get an English Setter that was bred in this country . But I'm looking for a Boykin to use for retrieval purposes pretty much only . When I was a good bit younger " I thought" everything from the UK was the thing to have be it cars guns etc etc . Now I don't come close to feeling that way . I asked a specific question for a specific breed and while there may or may not be anything wrong with the breed you mentioned it's not what interests me at the moment .

You know if I go through with getting one of these little guys I just might give some thought to fall turkey hunting again !
