Boykin Spaniel Hunt & Field

The AKC allowed the Boykin to compete in the AKC Spaniel Hunt Tests on January 1, 2006. Starting December 1, 2009 the Boykin Spaniel entered full AKC registration. At that time the AKC also allowed the BSCBAA to begin the process of application to host their own AKC sanctioned Spaniel Hunt Tests.

The BSCBAA's Hunt & Field Standing Committee works with the AKC and AKC affiliated groups to help educate AKC trainers, judges and breeders interpret the mental & instinctual creation of the Boykin Spaniel's founding breeder, Lemuel Whitaker "Whit" Boykin (1861-1932). The Committee creates educational materials and hosts training events for the membership, public, and AKC judges to help expand knowledge on this Spaniel breed's hunting abilities. The Committee is also responsible for all AKC sanctioned events and parent club Working Tests.

The HUNTING STYLE OF THE BOYKIN SPANIEL is an official club document that is overseen by this Committee. Changes must be approved by the BSCBAA BOD before any revisions are distributed publically.

As a fully recognized AKC breed, the Boykin Spaniel parent club may now begin drafting an AKC Boykin Spaniel Field Trial plan. Please submit any ideas and information in writing to the Hunt & Field Committee.
