Really? So is ur dog force fetched and forced to pile? If so who did it and what method?

Yes I have the same exact dog that delta is saying shut Down. Same one ur saying won't hunt in freezing temps. I hunt every Fkn day. I quit a job to hunt this season Hahahahahaha

I don't have a spaniel dip shit. I have a british lab. She has a fraction of the cost that y'all's dogs have. You cant honestly say cost length has 0 to do with the dog getting cold

Your dog is smarter than u. In training u better switch the role or u will be wrapping ur dog in a blanket more than once

Fraction of the cost? Wtf are u talkin abt

Not abt the length of the coat. It's the undercoat that counts. And it will bt develop inside the house.

It's called force to pile.It's Obv u haven't done this w ur dog. This is the method of training that hones in on the dog desire to please. Yes u can actually build that desire through training. U need to work a lil more w ur dog and try some dif methods. Anyone who understands dog training will explain this exactly how I did. Yes ur dog has desire to retrieve. Now u need to fine tune that desire and build around it.

Who's program did you use?

Look ur dog isn't properly trained get over it. Again delta she was just tired

I used mainly retriever training for spaniels from Pam kadlec. She runs the bss so she has the most experience w boykins. She owner and trainer of the top 3 boykins in the country. All w grand passes. I also used a lil from waterdog and building a retriever by Carol Cassidy

Must know what ur doing wen that dog wouldn't retrieve. Shouldn't have gotten angry shoulda just went go get the bird and pet the dog on the way bak

I'd like to see some of y'all wear nothing but a 5mm neoprene coat that isn't completely waterproof and swim in nearly freezing water and see how many retrieves you make...lol the dogs cold, hell I get cold with layers of clothes on....... as long as it does well during reasonable circumstances I wouldn't be too worried about it. I mean you can get upset all you want about a dog not going pick up all the birds, but why do we have dogs again? Oh right so our lazy asses don't have to go get them.

Just the reason I did not go with the Boykin. I like them but my research gave me problems with cold water. Here is my lab with a goose and it's -29F that day. Now, thats cold. We hunted 1.3/4 hours and that was enough for both of us. 30F is warm and we look for that weather in late season. Just another perspective. Duckdonsamspeck1.jpg

Duck don your dog is completely dry lol. Looks like you did the retrieving lol

We live in south la. It don't get cold lol so if I leave my dog out side in 70-90 degree weather it will grow a undercoat. My house stays 70 or lower all year long lol does that count.

U crazy bah

More of the wachelhound and the chessie than any other. The temperament is identical w chessies. At least mine is. Seen a few wachelhounds bt never handled one. They are identical to a Boykin. Water spaniels are minimal in this breed line. The English cocker is the spaniel line that is desired w these pups

I have hunted with various breeds that have shut down due to cold and ice. A friend of mine takes a blanket and towel for his golden when it gets below freezing. I personally have had nothing but Chessies and hunted with them when ice would form on there coats and couldnt keep them from wanting to retrieve.

We hunted in some colder water this weekend zero issues. I think the ear infection had her not feeling to well. I got that issue cleared up and she didn't hesitant this morning she had 6 blinds no issue getting her in the water

Good to hear man.
