Program update on 05 Sept 2025 •Meanwhile, Daddy Gunner spent the weekend collecting doves and celebrating National Boykin Spaniel Day!
Jim K.
Litter update on 05 Sept 2025 •…We ask for your patience as we are in the process of reviewing applications for this upcoming litter due September 28. We are going in the order of which they were received and conducting phone interviews. If approved we will require a $200 non refundable deposit (with a few exceptions) at that time. Many people fall off of the list for various reasons, so don’t be discouraged if you are not in the top 8-9 applicants. We have our other female, Harper, who is next in line to go into heat and you will be placed on the top of that list if you wish to be. Foster has a veterinary appointment next week for her X-ray to determine how many puppies will be in this litter! Foster is starting to really show and she wants to be right beside us at all times. She is such a sweet mama!
