Why do I need a pup out of a Titled Boykin? I just want to Hunt! We hear this often from customers. We all may have asked the same when first starting after having other breeds in the past. When you get a pup out of a proven Champion Breeding you are getting an assurance that the bloodline was bred to do just what you want. TO Hunt, To Enjoy the Field and To do so Safely.


During the off season HRC/AKC Hunt test are held and much of the training occurs. This isn't to say you cannot do that training and be involved. You need to be as you will be the handler in the field. Hunt Test prove that your pup has been practicing field work that will be required on a hunt. That is learning patience and consistency of retrieving. A variety of bumpers, and birds are used during these preparations.


The pup is also learning socialization with other dogs, and a variety of people. This is essential as you enter the field. You want a dog who is capable of the job and has the temperament to be around people, other dogs. A pup who will honor another dog and allow it to retrieve a bird while it waits patiently for its turn. A pup who will ride in a kennel, who is used to loading and unloading safely when you get to the boat ramp. HRC/AKC training and preforming ensures the pup that is produced from these bloodlines will meet your needs.


You will not regret training your dog, attending club meetings and making new friends with common interest if you choose to do so. No, you do not have to but honestly folks in the retriever world are so kind and generous often welcoming you to their property

to practice and learn from their years of knowledge. IT is pretty amazing!!!
