Boykin Spaniel

Good to know

• Swamp hunter: developed in South Carolina to flush and retrieve turkeys and ducks from small boats, so they are compact and love water.
• Keen and busy: they are energetic hunting dogs that need regular exercise, swimming or retrieving games to stay content.
• Coat care: the medium wavy coat needs regular brushing, plus trimming around the ears and feet to prevent mats.
• Friendly and eager: they are typically friendly, people-focused and eager to please, which helps with training.

Getting out with a Boykin Spaniel

They need daily exercise beyond a stroll: longer trails, games of fetch and time to run at the park.
