Boykin Spaniel Dog: Boykin Spaniel Dog Pictures, Characteristics and Facts

The Boykin Spaniel, once relegated solely to South Carolina (and in fact, the official dog of the state!), is growing in popularity nationwide as a breed that's as loyal and lovable as it is intelligent and trainable. These affable dogs are easily identifiable by their luscious brown locks and honey-gold eyes, with webbed toes that make them excellent swimming partners. Originally bred in South Carolina to hunt and retrieve among the states many swamps and lakes, Boykin Spaniels have recently found themselves out of the swamp and in suburban backyards, edging ever closer to the ubiquity of their Cocker Spaniel and Springer Spaniel peers.
