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.
