Small Hunting dog, which one?
Bucks2Ducks:
Have you looked at American water Spaniels at all? Sounds exactly like what you're looking for, very similar to a Boykin. You also have 2 breeders in Skagit county.

I have looked into AWS on the internet. Some state they can bark quite a bit. That wouldn’t suit my style. We travel quite a bit in campgrounds. I taught my labs to be silent. Also size is a factor looking for as small as I can get . Because of traveling in small truck, trailer and fitting on the back of a pontoon boat.
I have given thought to French Brittney too. My hold up there is I would like something durable in cold weather if that makes sense.
I have not ruled out any of these breeds. Just seems the Boykin fits better from what I read.
This is all research at this point my lab at 13 is doing well. And I am 100% committed to her. We e had two dogs for 10 years but at 74 I want to be a one dog house and as small as possible for some duck and upland hunting.
