this dog will never win any competitions,get ribbons,etc..
she will break like an excited crackhead.
she loves all the same shtuff i do.specially bein in the boat.
the only "training" she has is not to shit or piss in the house.
everything else is purely natural.

a lil story....some would call it cruelty but she was happy doin it.
she cut her paw pretty bad on an oyster shell.
tried to keep it bandaged but she wanted to chew it off.
the day after the cut,was going to venice to hunt,leaving the crippled dog home.
getting groc.for the lil trip at the store,realized i forgot my wallet,hunt lic.etc.
when i got back home,the lil bitch,layin on the sofa,looked at me wit the saddest eyes you ever seen,maybe even had tears,idk.
when i said"you wanna go girl" she popped her head up and flew to the door on three legs.
got a ziploc full o dog food and another ziploc full o spray wound cleaner,neosporin,gauze,tape,etc.. to venice we go.
the tide was real low in the daytime so we didnt do as good as we normally do but.....

that lil bitch went get every duck we shot on three legs!
she aint pointing in the pic.,thats her hurt foot

They got more go than any dog i have ever owned!! I wouldnt trade mine for anything!!

I believe I have owned my last lab. My boykin has more character than any dog Ive owned. I cant make a move that she isnt on me to go. Get you some superglue for her pads to close the cuts.

Guy at work got him a female out of miss. this weekend.. Said he got her sittting in 5 min and healing in 10!! i just laugh and said weight these dogs are un real.. I still havent starting of left or rights but she is running back commands at about 200 yards right now!! Every day for lunch she runs 8 dummies at that distance and wants more!! Im gonna let craig show her that this week lol

I'll never own another lab either, with that being said my boykin is the weirdest dog I have ever seen.

lol joe.. i always wondered what the hell that was in your boat.. im new to this whole boykin scene, ive always owned labs.. how much are these dogs usually? what exacaly are they?

Its a boykin spaniel. Look like a chocolate cocker spaniel on a steroids. I been wanting one for a few years now, and now that quite a few people are starting to get them, I want one even more!

Lol I was waiting on you to comment cb! I think im gonna give up on the fox red labs and just get a boykin I've Hurd nothing but good things about them. About what do they run as 6 week old pups

they not cheap.......

Damn... Oh well nothin in life worth it comes free i guess

Ya'll are dead right about boykins! They have more go than any other retriever I have ever been around! I know for a fact that I didn't train mine to do anything but sit and stay, everything she has is natural ability! I've hunted her on everything from dove and ducks here in SC to pheasnt in South Dakota. I also started running her in HRC hunt tests last year and she's got one more pass to complete her started title, she even got a Judges Award of Merit in novice last year at boykin nationals! I will never own another breed of retriever!

This is my pahnahs dog Drake his pretty dame good for a finish dog, but hes hard headed somebitch!

I have been sitting in my chair watching TV and dat little biatch will come running across the room, jump up, push off the edge of the chair and land on top my damn head before I can react she is so fast. I swear she has springs on her feet and is part monkey. My wife will laugh her azz off and say, " you said you wanted a dog with a little more energy". She can just be standing still and jump straight up in the air 2'-3'. They seem to have some unique characteristics that I have never seen in dogs. If you watch closely when she is looking at something she looks things over like a person would, trying to figure out how they work.

unique is right. Like a computer taking it all in. I get the impression that she's thinking.....so that's what that's for, now I get it................when my lab would have been thinking.................what ta.....uh.........let me see that again.

Very intense concentration when they're in a new environment.

Cocoa hit the water today for the first time. I was walking on the golf course and kicked a pine cone into the pond.................airborne she went. We sat by the edge of the pond and made a big deal out of that for about 5 minutes. She made about 7 water retrieves with pine cones and delivered to the hand just like she does with the bumpers. I'm amazed

Mine is back at boot camp!!

I had a boykin along time ago about when i was 8 or so , the only thing i remember about that dog was she out ran the truck going down our country road to my old house, she was freaking super fast and smart as hell too, my dad use to guide at my grandmother's hunting resort over here (Labove's hutning Resort, Sabine Pass, Tx.) and he had her for a retreiver, he told me stories that when he brought her with him that all the other dogs just werent' fast enough so the next morning the hunters just left their dogs in the kennels. You guys are making me want a boykin, that will probably be my next dog.
