My friend's boykin is the most worthless bird dog I've ever been around. Incredibly high energy dog with a great personality and disposition. Retrieving just hasn't worked out.

there are equal numbers of other breeds with the same issues if not more there are reasons for their current meteoric rise in popularity and being cute isn't the driving force... but some unscrupulous breeders are out there.. just like every other breed. besides.. if you look at the boykins pass fail rate in hunt tests right now - stack that up against any other breed.. especially with owner trained and handled dogs.

Ive got a buddy that got one thinking he was buying gods gift to retrieving. He spent a fortune on the dog and another fortune on training. She rarely, if ever, picks up ducks, will occasionally pick up doves, etc. Same as above, has a great personality and a fun little dog to be around, but holy shite not worth the money he paid to be a bird dog.
