Nice a_c, my parents have had Boykins for a long time. Is he a good bird dog?
Honestly, when I rescued him I had no idea what breed he was. The shelter had told us he came in listed as a lab/dachshund mix, but they thought he was a cocker spaniel/dachshund mix. I'd never even heard of Boykins Spaniels until you mentioned it, but I can't help but think you are right about this.
He's got a great nose and seems to be a natural bird dog, both for retrieving and flushing. He's just incredibly sensitive to loud noises, especially firearms so I'm not so sure he would be OK for this. I will try to post some more pictures of him when I can......
