Southern Way Farm
Meet the breeder
I'm Lynne K., the breeder behind Southern Way Farm located in Midway, KY. I'm just beginning my breeding journey! I'm excited to help preserve a great American breed and share them with others. My dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family. I prepare all of my pups to excel in life.
Q. & A. with Lynne
Why did you start breeding?
After getting my first boykin I got involved with hunt tests and training about 12 years ago ( my oldest is 14). I have always wanted to breed but waited until the right dog came along.What makes your program special?
I see a lot of Boykins out there that have not had the proper testing and have issues. I want to preserve this breed by keeping good genetic variables in the breed. They are still considered a rare breed and as such keeping as much excellent genetic diversity is important.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Southern Way Farm reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Boykin Spaniels.
Elbow Dysplasia (Preliminary)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
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.
Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
