Happy 9th Birthday to Max X Baylee’s first beautiful litter that started it all. Carson, Wyatt, Kolby, Watson, Nova and a special heavenly birthday to Jasper. This litter changed my life and blessed me with a brand new set of family/friends. Who knew the amount of unconditional love these little browns would bring. ❤️

When you get your 8 week old puppies, please keep these images in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

When you're letting your puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

Paw Prints is having their great sale. Is it time to Test your Boykin?

Folks would do themselves and the Boykin Spaniel Foundation a great service if, when they go to https://www.pawprintgenetics.com/products/breeds/175/ , check off the boxes for CEA, DM and EIC, and then scroll further down to find the CDDY box.
Thanks for indulging me :)

Update** Out of obstruction surgery. Thank the lord everything removed. Need continued prayers for recovery. Hopefully can come home in the next few days.

Please if you haven’t listened at me nag enough about pet insurance. If you have not enrolled yet You need to! It is so important to be prepared for the unknown.

Need unspoken prayers sent out for one of our extended Hollyridge family puppy owners. Please take a few moments in hopes no surgery is needed and if so the lord guide all involved. Hugs and prayers to the family. Thank you ❤️🙏🙏🙏

Someone has tagged our kennel and services for an “upcoming litter announcement” for Boykins.
This individual does NOT have a signed breeding contract from us, does NOT have our permission to advertise our dogs health clearances, titles, pedigrees or anything else in regards to our kennel, our dogs or anything else. This individual is from Wyoming. We do NOT conduct business with our dogs in this manner, and unless ANY litter that possibly would be available or “up coming litters” with any of our dogs involved will be posted here!
Any other information on other pages should be considered false and not be trusted!
We take a lot of pride and extreme effort to protect the breed, our line, our dogs, and our kennel from doing business from individuals like this.
We go to extremes to protect the breed, our dogs, our kennel and our name. We would never conduct business in this manner, ever!
Please feel free to private message with any questions.

*Note: unless otherwise posted, until further notice NO breedings are being done, NO potential breedings are being planned. Thanks for the understanding!

So proud of my puppy owners. Not only did Jackson get a Jam with Jeremy, but Tazzie Mae got her first title with Bill and Bette Thompson yesterday! That earned Tazzie her SHR.
