Meet the breeder
I'm Jean and Ned L., the breeder behind Skipjack Boykins located in Still Pond, MD. Just so you know- we are a not a large, kennel. Puppies are given our total attention during their time with us. Upon pickup, pups will have followed a deworming schedule, first shots, tails docked and dewclaws removed. We do not take breeding dogs lightly and have done all we can to provide healthy, hardworking and beautiful Boykins. They are well socialized, being exposed to a number of different situations and sounds.
