Q. & A. with Barbara
Why did you start breeding?
We love the breed having owned one for almost 20 years. Since we retired we sought out a high quality pair to breed as a hobby. We wanted to help keep the breed pure by exercising due diligence in breeding all practices. It’s become a labor of love.What makes your program special?
We took great strides in making sure our stock is genetically sound, and excellent health ratings so that we can assure our clients of as perfect puppies as possible. We raise them in our home and are loving them with human touch personally, many times, everyday.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are liver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Boykin Spaniel
About Breezy
Breezy is the most loving Boykin we’ve ever had. She will lay in our lap and fully relax, then if you say ‘play fetch’ she’s jumping 3’ in the air, ready to go! Her name says it all! Cool Breeze! She lives in our home with 2 other dogs.She loves our cat, but chases any others off the property. Very protective. She comes out of Cavern Sizzling Bacon, HRCH. A tried and true national champion and Bar6 Southern Belle. Breezy has had all genetic testing completed and is clear or normal on all counts. She’s the perfect Boykin. She’s showing and getting bigger everyday!
