Boykin Breeders in Virginia

[Harry Collins]

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?

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 !

Mid Atlantic Boykin Club has a trial Oct 10th, I think it's going to be Ayden NC you ought to go and look at dogs. Can let you know the details in a few days.

No, cars from the UK suck....I don't think there's much debate there.
