Boykin Spaniel Breeders

I want to get a boykin, but I don't know any good breeders in the Baton Rouge area.

Don't think there are any. Several in TX, 1 just north of Texarkana (where I got mine from) and 1 in Shreveport but I don't know if they're still active.

Any Boykin owners on this board?

Several OB posters have boykins and can chime in with where they got theirs. If you want more info on the one in Texarkana, e-mail me at thelastcoco @ gmail and I'll give you their contact info.

The Louisiana Upland Dogs facebook group has a few Boykin owners

I have a Boykin that is about 6 months old now. He has been a great dog so far. Mine came from a breeder here in Huntsville Alabama named Dr. Gregg Able. Brandywine Creek Boykins is another top notch breeder. If you are getting a dog that will be your companion for 13 or 14 years having to travel to pick it up is not really a big deal. But if you can find one close to home that is nice also.

If you want a proven , solid bloodline, chances are you'll have to go out of state . Good friend of mine bought his male from SC and his female from AL

Be sure to inquire about the hips of the sire/dam.

You're going to be on a waiting list for a pup with good genetics. I just got a pup from a guy in Gladewater, TX but he isn't a breeder per se. the people at Texas Trace near Houston and R&D in Houston were tremendously helpful in helping me locate a puppy and would recommend you contact them. Anderson and Brandywine are top notch too but they may have a waiting list in the neighborhood of 6 months to a year. They're tough dogs to find and there's a lot of breeders to be wary of. It's a fairly new breed so extra caution is advised when looking at blood lines because inbreeding is common...

I know a real good one in GA.....and another in mobile. Any good LBD breeder will have a waiting list.

I have a 3 year old male - if you know mean look at FB.


I have owned and trained labs, chessies and GSPs. winning field trials with all 3. All great breeds but none have captivated our home like and LBD...
and yes a 35lb(which is big for them) around the house, camp, truck, ATV and of course pirogue is a dream.

we are breeding ours soon. but I am pretty sure the owner of the bitch has 5 pups spoken for and i have 2 spoken for.

Why not a cocker spaniel

One of the guys on my lease got his Boykin from a breeder in MS, not exactly sure where though. I know he singled that one out as supposedly one of the better breeders though and drove over from Dallas to get the dog.
