The Boykin Spaniels attributes can be one that is dauntless and bold. When given the task to flush and retrieve game from land or water, their relentlessness is backed to please their master. The Boykin was designed for those who hunt by foot. Depending on the preference of game and with proper training they are excellent in scenting, tracking, and hunting both fur and feathered game. A Boykin Spaniel has a short to medium range that will suit every field hunters needs. If you prefer to hunt on water, the Boykin is very skillful and enthusiastic. It seems that it is just as strong and agile as on land. Granted, the Boykin is smaller and compact, and to compare its vigor to the traditional, larger water retrieving hunting breeds like the Labradors and Chesapeake Bay Retreivers, it would not be fair. Historically, Boykin Spaniels were used in the swamps of Wateree River, South Carolina for their adaptability on small boats in which the locals spoke, “the dog that does’t rock the boat”. Genetically speaking the Boykin has been linked to the Chesapeake and the American Water Spaniel. which helps give the Boykin Spaniel their reputation of confidence and tenacity. The Boykin Spaniel is gaining respect and support in the hunting communities. Understanding the Boykin’s physical characteristics and background is to appreciate that the Boykin Spaniel is an all- around gun dog. |
