The Boykin Spaniel Provided by the Boykin Spaniel Club HISTORY Breed history states that sometime after the turn of the (20th) century, a small dog was found wandering near a Methodist church in Spartanburg, South Carolina. One of the people attending the services there, a Mr. Alexander L. White, took the dog home as a pet. The dog apparently displayed some hunting aptitude so Mr. White sent the dog to be trained by his hunting partner, Mr. L. Whitaker Boykin of the Boykin community just outside of Camden, South Carolina. With this training, the little stray developed into a superb turkey dog and waterfowl retriever. This dog, said to be a male, was the forerunner of all Boykin Spaniels in existence today. Early ancestors of this breed are thought to be the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Springer Spaniel, Cocker Spaniel and the American Water Spaniel. The private registry for the Boykin Spaniel breed began in 1977 under the name of the Boykin Spaniel Society. On April 20, 1984 the South Carolina Wildlife and Marine Resources Commission endorsed the Boykin Spaniel as South Carolina's state dog. Governor Richard W. Riley proclaimed September 1, 1984, the first day of dove hunting season, as Boykin Spaniel Day. On March 26, 1985, Governor Riley signed into law the act making the Boykin Spaniel the official South Carolina state dog. The Boykin Spaniel was recognized as a breed apart from any other spaniel by the United Kennel Club in 1985.The American Kennel Club began a foundation stock service for the Boykin Spaniel in 1998. Participation in the Foundation Stock Service does not imply AKC accreditation. The Boykin Spaniel remains in the rare breed classification with the AKC. .

Living with the Chesapeake Bay Retriever (CBR) by Debra Wiley Cuevas, Quailridge Chesapeakes
Living with the Chesapeake Bay Retriever (CBR) by Debra Wiley Cuevas, QuailRidge Chesapeakes I have lived with many Chesapeake Bay Retrievers since 1985. They are wonderful dogs, loyal, intelligent, loving, protective, versatile and amazingly intuitive companions. They exhibit courage, endurance, persistence, and a terrific sense of humor. Once you have a Chesapeake, it is difficult to replace them with another breed, but they are not for everyone, they require an equally instinctive owner who is willing to be the Alpha. The CBR is a a dog with an instinct to protect loved ones. They bond closely with their family, and are generally neutral around other people and dogs. Their intelligence and ability to reason make them a challenge for the inexperienced dog owner. The first year of their life is crucial, this breed needs structure, socialization, and a solid foundation of obedience training. Obedience training at a young age will establish good behavior and decrease the tendency for willfulness and independence. CBRs need plenty of exercise and thrive in environments where they feel they have a job to do. The CBR needs to respect its owner, or trouble begins. If the Chesapeake feels the owner is not in charge, they will take charge, or in other words, become the "alpha" and handle things as they see fit. When giving an instruction it is imperative that the owner follow thru, if you are not willing to get up and make the CBR do what you have asked, don't ask, because the dog will quickly recognize an owner that does not follow thru and quickly loose respect for, then ignore the owner.

Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally Active and Alert, Sporting Dogs Make Likeable, Well-Rounded Companions
Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally active and alert, Sporting dogs make likeable, well-rounded companions. Remarkable for their instincts in water and woods, many of these breeds actively continue to participate in hunting and other field activities. Potential owners of Sporting dogs need to realize that most require regular, invigorating exercise. The breeds of the AKC Sporting Group were all developed to assist hunters of feathered game. These “sporting dogs” (also referred to as gundogs or bird dogs) are subdivided by function—that is, how they hunt. They are spaniels, pointers, setters, retrievers, and the European utility breeds. Of these, spaniels are generally considered the oldest. Early authorities divided the spaniels not by breed but by type: either water spaniels or land spaniels. The land spaniels came to be subdivided by size. The larger types were the “springing spaniel” and the “field spaniel,” and the smaller, which specialized on flushing woodcock, was known as a “cocking spaniel.” ~~How many breeds are in this group? 31~~ 1. American Water Spaniel a. Country of origin: USA (lake country of the upper Midwest) b. Original purpose: retrieve from skiff or canoes and work ground c. Other Names: N/A d. Very Brief History: European immigrants who settled near the great lakes depended on the region’s plentiful waterfowl for sustenance. The Irish Water Spaniel, the Curly-Coated Retriever, and the now extinct English Water Spaniel have been mentioned in histories as possible component breeds. e. Coat color/type: solid liver, brown or dark chocolate. A little white on toes and chest is permissible.

The American Water Spaniel: Yankee Doodle Dandy
The American Water Spaniel: Yankee Doodle Dandy James B. Spencer HUP! Training Flushing Spaniels The American Way he American Water Spaniel (AWS) is as American as George M. Cohan, and just as capable of “doing it all” in his particular line of work. T A marvelous little all-weather ducker, the AWS can also bust the nastiest cover in the uplands to flush and retrieve birds for the boss. The dog’s small size and placid temperament make him ideal in a duck skiff, where he can slip into and out of the water without upsetting or soaking the skipper. His methodical thoroughness in the uplands makes him a delightful companion for the gunner over thirty-five years of age. Developed in the last century in the Great Lakes region, and now the state dog of Wisconsin, this native breed possesses so many talents that the national breed club, American Water Spaniel Club (AWSC), has struggled for years trying to decide whether to seek AKC classification as a retriever or as a flushing spaniel. The breed must be classified as one or the other before it can participate in AKC Field Trials and hunting tests. The breed needs the exposure these activities, especially the AKC hunting tests, would give it among dog-loving hunters. Trouble is, the AWSC membership is badly split – four ways. Some members favor classification as a spaniel. Some favor classification as a retriever. Others fearing that either would eventually damage the breed’s dual abilities, have until very recently held out for dual classification. Still others prefer no classification at all.

Official Standard for the Boykin Spaniel General Appearance
Page 1 of 2 Official Standard for the Boykin Spaniel General Appearance - The Boykin Spaniel was developed in South Carolina, USA as a medium-sized sporting dog with a docked tail. The breed is built to cover all types of ground conditions with agility and reasonable speed. Size and weight were essential in development of the breed as these hunting companions needed to be lighter and smaller than their larger sporting dog cousins to fit in the portable section boats of the time period. As a result, the Boykin Spaniel came to be known as “the little brown dog that doesn’t rock the boat”. Being a hunting dog, he should be exhibited in hard muscled working condition. His coat should not be so excessive as to hinder his work as an active flushing spaniel, but should be thick enough to protect him from heavy cover and weather. The Boykin Spaniel is primarily a working gun dog; structure and soundness are of great importance. Size, Proportion, Substance - The Boykin Spaniel is solidly built, with moderate bone, and smooth firm muscles. The ideal height measured from the ground to the highest point of the shoulder blades for dogs is 15½ to 18 inches at the withers; for bitches is 14 to 16½ inches at the withers. Any variance greater than 1 inch above or below the ideal height is a major fault. The minimum height ranges shall not apply to dogs or bitches under 12 months of age. Proportion is slightly longer than tall, never square. However, exact proportion is not as important as the dog being well-balanced and sound, capable of performing the breed’s intended function.

GENERAL APPEARANCE Equally Proficient on Land and in the Water, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever Was Developed Along the Chesapeake
THE AMERICAN CHESAPEAKE CLUB PRESENTS AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO THE CHESAPEAKE BAY RETRIEVER This guide was produced by the American Chesapeake Club to give a broader, more detailed understanding of the breed and its standard for the education of judges, breeders and fanciers. All text in italics is explanatory wording. The cooperation and assistance of members of the ACC and fanciers in the production of this presentation was greatly appreciated. 2018 Illustrated Guide Evaluation Committee - Chair, Betsy Horn Humer - Ron Anderson, Charlene Cordiero, and Linda Harger 2012 Guide Committee - Chair, Dyane Baldwin - Audrey Austin, Jo Ann Colvin, Sally Diess, Nat Horn and Joanne Silver All Rights reserved by the American Chesapeake Club 2012 GENERAL APPEARANCE Equally proficient on land and in the water, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever was developed along the Chesapeake Bay to hunt waterfowl under the most adverse weather and water conditions, often having to break ice during the course of many strenuous multiple retrieves. Frequently the Chesapeake must face wind, tide and long cold swims in its work. 1 The breed’s characteristics are specifically suited to enable the Chesapeake to function with ease, efficiency and endurance. In head, the Chesapeake’s skull is broad and round with medium stop. The jaws should be of sufficient length and strength to carry large game birds with an easy, tender hold. The double coat consists of a short, harsh, wavy outer coat and, a dense fine wooly undercoat containing an abundance of natural oil and is ideally suited for the icy, rugged conditions of weather the Chesapeake often works in.
