Phil Hinchmam has a great line of Boykins. I competed against Phil for many years and his boykins kicked our butt on many occasions. His number is (317) 431-1369. He’s in Indiana south of Indianapolis. I think Phil has a place in South Carolina where trains in the winter/spring.

Our 12 old Boykin has never shown any signs of aggression with people big or small. Couple dogs he doesn’t like not many, growls no fights. Boykin trials steady is his issue. To be honest though it’s mostly my fault, we don’t live on good training property. If we could have run short sessions with a gun daily be another story. Around the house he’s the perfect pet
Were he’s aggressive is with birds, Boykins were bred to small but more aggressive than others their size. Local preserve one of the guides uses Brittany’s mostly, one Boykin his personal pet. If your party knows how to shoot safely will bring him and put him on broken up coveys. Shoot as singles flush out. Way the two breeds handle is dramatically different. Brittany much easier dog to handle Boykin a joy to watch. Duck hunting depends on how you hunt. They’re small 40 lbs about maximum lot of 30 lb dogs. It’s what South Carolina hunters were looking for, small dog small boats tight creeks. Very aggressive retrieve. Boykins my Favorite Spaniel, suggest you join the Boykin club, get the magazine as reference for breeders and club trial dates and locations. Very good club is near Greenville North Carolina. Best watch then work before committing. Send me a PM can look up closest club to you our send some old Boykin mags. From Virginia it’s probably worth the drive to Greenville. Very good sporting clays course nearby too. William |

While never having a Boykin myself, I have hunted approximately 20 times per year with a buddy's 5 year old Boykin. She hunts and retrieves woodcock, snipe and grouse like a champ. She's friendly, hunts close and gets along with the other dogs in hunting camp. She has no problem tracking cripples or doing water retrieves. In November and December she hunts waterfowl in northern New England. I don't think she could carry a mature Canada goose through corn field stubble but she sure could hold em down until her handler got there. Fine gun dog. The bonus is she hunts well with our Griffs who are a versatile pointing breed.
Her breeder is Jacquelin DeAngelo. There's a description of her breeding program on the following link: https://showsightmagazine.com/insigh...elin-deangelo/ I know very little about the breed or her breeder so further research would be necessary. Others here likely know a lot more. This is just my limited experience. Best of luck! In the photo she is on the right. The only good photo I could find of her. |

Thank you for all of the replies. Thanks to a fellow member, I may have found exactly what I am looking for. Plus, the timing is perfect with a planned fall breeding and pup ready to come home in January. I'll post updates as they apply.
Thanks again, Al |
