Through the years, Jacquelin has bred, shown and owner handled her Boykins to their championships and multiple group placing wins. She believes in dogs having titles at both ends.

Marie has been involved in AKC and CPE agility for over 20 years successfully teaming with Gracee and two other English Springer Spaniels in agility. Marie also competed in Rally Obedience with Gracee and showed her second English Springer Spaniel, Will, in breed competition earning his AKC breed championship. In 2015, Marie got her first Boykin Spaniel, Chase, and joined the BSCBAA. At three months of age, Chase started agility training.

Most of his sporting life has been spent chasing deer and other four-legged creatures until he was invited to South Dakota on his first pheasant hunt and he fell in love with a little brown dog named Gracie. In spite of the fact that his house was full with a 170 pound English Mastiff, he made room for a Boykin Spaniel and now has three Boykins. With the vast majority of the credit going to his granddaughter Julie and wife Martha, his Boykins compete in AKC conformation shows, participate in therapy dog work, and pursue upland game every fall. Pete will tell you he has been blessed to have had many memorable hunting adven- tures, and right at the top of those are the days he has spent afield with his Boykin hunting partner. He will also tell you there is no bigger thrill, no deeper satisfaction, than seeing the pup you raised and trained excel at what they were bred to do. In addition to his love for the Boykin Spaniel breed, Pete pledges to always do what is best for the BSCBAA and the breed. Photo: Remembering GIVE YOUR BOYKIN SPANIEL A HUGE HUG TODAY!

ARTICLE FROM SOUTH AFRICA LIONS, SNAKES AND BOYKINS—OH MY! BY ROBERT SIMON Greetings– The Kalahari in January is a paradise of game birds – and the conservation unit where Victoria and I had the week was the crown jewel of life. The bush was par- ticularly alive with the 10 year rain event which dropped over 250ml over a 7 day peri- od – knocking down the mid-day heat and holding the scent hard to packed sand for Vicki to work wind. It was a very rich experience. The idea of kicking up birds while lions and cheetahs wonder freely abroad, as well as, there being Cape Cobras and Rough Thicktail Scorpions around if not underfoot, should make a person pretty nervous for man and dog. Amazingly – my young Victoria – works so close to me (not beyond the range of the 20 gauge) – that as we kicked up not a one of the bad nasty things all week. Instead, the training and practice had her putting up the grass combing Red-Billed Spurfowl & Swainson’s Spurfowl, as well as jumping the flooded pans where the dipping South African Shell Ducks and Namaqua & Burchell’s Sand Grouse came to water in large flights without a sting, bite, or lion…. Well mostly. All the time off the truck was spent with the protection of the guide swinging a 375 H&H in the event of feline danger. The bite and sting prevention came down to being alert and smart – Victoria is certainly both – she is recognizing the snakes for sure. She will not be playing with them if she sees one first. The scorpions are another matter – mostly nocturnal – they do work the heat of the day as well – So we usually get back on the truck once the temperature gets above 20c. Vicki has not shown any interest in the bugs and is pretty alert to where she steps (mostly) because of all the biting ants, fire ants, and other elephant crazies in the grass. Thus far the spiders also have left her alone (did you know we have a dozen venomous spiders in South Africa?) as well. Victoria is a completely different working dog. She works so closely to my side that the African birds really can’t out-fox her. She has learned this year practicing every morning – Lockdown preventing actual gunslinging for now – Vicki knows that she must run parallel to the Guinea Fowl and the Spur Fowl and then cut a hard 90 turn to head them off and turn them back to the guns. As a handler I just can’t “teach” this move. She also has the local puddle ducks figured out. Every morning we are out toward the river with Vicki slinking along the tall grass working into the wind – she knows the ducks are there – but short as she is there is nothing to show – yet just at the last second she cuts from the path into the grass and out pops the Yellow-billed Ducks making all kinds of noise as if the earth just awoke. It is a truly righteous thing to watch Vicki working the birds. When you are hunting over the only Boykins in all of Africa (I am almost certain of that point) the pride in performance is constant. Watching the All American Dog out work and out smart the locals is just sweet on the lips. Not a day goes by without someone stopping to ask – “What kind of dog is that?” When we do the long workouts on the water features – river work and pond work on decoys – people walking their dogs stop to watch. She just gets an earful of “wow” when she recovers the multiple decoys in fast moving river water. Of course, this is Africa – so I need to make sure there are no crocodiles or Cape Otters loitering – Striped Pole Cats (Zorilla in local language) and the other skunk type animals – before we start the early morning water workouts. It is a great joy to be in the field and better still to be in the field with my Boykin.
