I'm Ashley G., the breeder behind Cottonwood Kennel located in Monroe, NC. We are animal lovers with a great passion for our dogs. We fell in love with this breed's personality years ago. Boykin Spaniels are intelligent, kind, eager to please, & so loving. We just adore each of our dogs and do everything we can to ensure that they are each thoroughly cared for and loved.
Q. & A. with Ashley
