Dovewood Kennel is dedicated to breeding quality dogs that blend well into the home or the field. We have over twenty years of experience in the Boykin Spaniel breed. We typically have two litters a year. We are diligent to all aspects of what makes a good breeding. All of our breeding dogs are OFA hip, eye and heart certified. All sires and dams have very strong hunting instincts. Our objective in breeding Boykin Spaniels is to produce a quality companion, and an excellent hunting partner. We like to share our training and Boykin experiences. Our puppies are raised in a clean, home environment and are well socialized. Puppies are vet checked three times before going to their new homes. They are taken on their first visit to get their tails docked, dew claws removed and their first puppy physical. On the second visit at three weeks old, they are checked again by the veterinarian and given a normal worming. On the third visit at six weeks old they are checked again by the veterinarian and given their first set of shots.

At Dovewood Kennel, it is our intention to provide a prospective buyer with information about the Boykin Spaniel Breed. We have a responsible breeding program to ensure physical and mental soundness as well as adherence to the breed standard. Confirmation of hip evaluation, eye testing, hunting ability, general intelligence and disposition are all considered before deciding to breed a certain dam to a certain sire.
