Craig Just talked to Frank Williams of Marion S.C. (843-423-2362) He is the man I got Bay my 2nd Boykin from. We talk every 2 or 3 weeks just see how the dogs are doing. He said that he has a 4 month puppy ( male) that he would sale. This Puppy is a repeat breeding from the litter Bay is from and they have turned out super ! One of Bays litter mates placed in the top ten out 76 dogs in the novice class at the Boykin Nationals. The dog had to run novice because he was one week too old for Puppy class ! Bay had retrieved around 50 doves and had flushed and retrieved prairie chickens ,sharptails and wild pheasants in South Dakota at 9 months. She has also has flushed released quail and picked them up. Her best volume day was at Prairie Wildlife when she picked up 25 pheasants at a tower shoot. We will go to a dove shoot this afternoon and leave next week for Vermont with 3 Parkers to learn about Ruffed grouse and woodcock. then home for a few days before back to S.D. for prairie chickens sharptails then on to Wisc. for more grouse. Boykins are like Parkers the good ones are not cheap. If I wanted a Boykin I would talk to Frank. Dan

A gentleman from here in VA and also a Parker forum person called me Thursday and we talked for about an hour . He gave me contact info for several breeders he knew in our general area . And he is a Boykin man as well . As to pup costs I am well aware being to tight on price can and usually will bite you in the a..s..s ! The last Border Terrier pup I bought was a touch north of $1500 . So the Boykin prices don't deter me . My biggest issue for a new pup has to do with me leaving the country for a month at a time and with my father . When I leave I have to have someone stay at nights with him and our "Little Evil Border Terrier" and I'm not sure I wanna leave a relatively new pup alone in that situation for a month very shortly after I got her . Oh yeah I didn't mention I generally prefer female dogs 😉
