About The Breed
Boykin Spaniel
The Boykin Spaniel, a medium-sized dog prized for its luscious brown coat, boasts traits of enthusiasm, sociability, and trainability. Originally a well-kept secret of South Carolina, this breed embodies a unique blend of a laid-back demeanor indoors and an unwavering determination in the field. Larger than Cockers yet more compact than Springers, Boykins exhibit a distinctive solid-brown hue ranging from rich liver to enticing chocolate. Their expressive faces, adorned with large, close-hanging ears, exude an aura of deep intelligence. Evolving from a heritage of working amidst the lakes and swamps of South Carolina, these web-toed canines are natural swimmers, likened to seals in the water. While once confined to the realm of Carolina hunters pursuing waterfowl and wild turkey, Boykins have since captivated a wider audience, showcasing their endearing companionship within the home and their spirited prowess in outdoor pursuits. As one devoted owner aptly notes, "They are very, very sweet dogs to have around the family, but an absolute tiger in the field."
