Dog bred by southern royalty (the Boykin family - also related to the Markleys and Beards of Camden, South Carolina). This dog was bred to further adjust the spaniel breed to the southern climate and is utilized for hunting birds.
Also known as a "swamp poodle".
Ex. I just bought a Boykin Spaniel, and next weekend we are going hunting for some duck. Y'all are welcome to hop in the truck and join us.
