PURCHASING A BOYKIN SPANIEL

There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around and learn all there is to know about purchasing a Boykin Spaniel.


Please read below and learn what to know before you consider purchasing or adopting a Boykin Spaniel.

BSCBAA BREEDER DIRECTORY PROGRAM

Breeder Directory Program

Our goal is to help the future Boykin Spaniel owner make the right choice when acquiring a Boykin Spaniel as a new member of the family, whether a new puppy, retired dog, started hunting dog, performance dog or a rescue Boykin. Boykin Spaniels are an amazing gundog - both flushing and retrieving seasoned hunting companions, yet a wonderful household pet and best friend.

Preparation

We suggest that when you contact any breeder that you be prepared to ask questions of the breeder and also be prepared to answer questions from the breeder. Only seek breeders that do the required OFA testing for the Boykin Spaniel Breed. The OFA is a good source. Responsible Breeders work hard to breed out problems. See the Health Education Section below to be informed. See the FAQ page and the BSCBAA Code of Ethics and read our HEALTH & GENETIC PAGE for assistance before buying.

Health Education Section

Additional Genetic Disease Testing Section

There have been some more recent concerns for additional DNA testing for Intervertebral Disc Disease/Chondrodystrophy (IVDD/CDDY) and Chondrodysplasia (CDPA). Paw Print Genetics presented a very informative seminar to the BSCBAA on August 20, 2020 and your can click here to view the slide presentation. In light of this new information, we are encouraging Boykin Spaniel owners and breeders to have this DNA test administered and hopefully with enough information can proceed with research. 


ATTENTION

Look for Breeders who do an in-depth testing and does additional genetic panel testing for all their breeding Sires and Dams. It's important to have the knowledge of dominant and recessive genes. Do your research and ask questions. A reputable breeder who goes above and beyond will be grateful for your questions. Expect to pay more for a reputable breeder.
