I've never heard of anyone going back to labs after having a Boykin. They usually end up with more than one.
But, if you are interested, come to our first inaugural Boykin Spaniel Hunting Retriever test next month, July 10 & 11 in Monroe. We have many people from across the country and possibly Canada if they open up. There's training and raffles and a dinner of sorts Saturday, and Sunday is the actual test. You'll see many Boykins and how they work.Plus, there's no tails cleaning off your coffee table or whacking your knees.
