Q. & A. with Alisha
Why did you start breeding?
Our Journey began 2016 since then we have grown to love the Boykin Spaniel and the new friends we have made along the way. We have attended Boykin Nationals bringing home both a JAM and Qualifying Ribbon, HRC Clubs, and on the board for our local Boykin. Our Boykins are both Professionally Trained and Amateur Trained and Run. Our Boykins are versatile as both service dogs and hunting companions.
What makes your program special?
Our pups are raised in our home in a rural country setting in NW Tennessee. Dew Claws and Tails are sent off for DNA testing. The PAW Print account will be transferred to the owner once you take ownership of the pup. They are potty trained from the time they begin solid food. At 7 Weeks of age we expose them to birds bumpers fetch and retrieve of wings. We preform the Volhard's Aptitude Test

Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
