Ruben the Boykin Spaniel at 7 years old—"He is a legend for his amazing personality amongst friends and family. He lives with my parents and has a few acres to run around on every day. Being fairly rural there's lots to chase, and he has even had a few catches (there's a couple pictures of him with his prizes). He is able to get out of the surrounding fences and frequently visits the neighbours who love him too, but he did once follow some ramblers who were kind enough to walk him home after. We don't worry about him, as he is strong and capable and always comes home, either knocking at the front door or letting himself in through the back. Loves adventuring in sun, rain or snow!"
Ruben the Boykin Spaniel at 7 years old—"He has an excellent temperament, very inquisitive, very excitable, always up for a snuggle and a belly rub or a run in the forest. You can have entire conversations with him through eye contact alone. He's extremely clever and understands a lot of words from hoover to mummy, ball to fox. Has a strange attraction to anything that makes a light on the wall or ceiling, either by a laser or a reflection from a watch, and goes absolutely crazy trying to catch it. As you can see he is slightly overweight, mainly due to people not being able to resist his gorgeous eyes."

"Ollie is a Boykin Spaniel puppy and he is around 5 weeks old here. Playing in the Monkey Grass is one of his favorite things to do during playtime. Everything is an adventure for Ollie at this age and everything is a toy. He loves to chew on anything he can get his teeth into. His eyes are finally turning from baby blue to the golden color they were intended to be."

"This is a Boykin Spaniel named Charley at about 1 year old. Charley is owned by friends of mine and is greatly loved by each and every one of us that has had the pleasure of knowing him. We knew Charley loved the water but we never knew just how much until his owners (Rick and T) brought him up to our river house on Tensaw Island, Alabama.
Charley was sitting out on the pier mesmerized by the birds playfully skimming the surface of the water for food. He could no longer contain himself and jumped into the water as a group of birds flew by. The rest of the day was spent swimming with Charley.
When we took him out on the boat he stood (while his owner had a tight hold onto him) at the bow of the boat with no fear as we rode down Tensaw River. When we stopped he would look to his owners as if asking permission to jump in and enjoy the water. He has very expressive eyes. At the end of the day while his owners were preparing to leave Charley found this huge stick in the reeds and begin chewing on it. Rick proceeded to toss it out into the water and Charley would bring it back every time without fail. His excitement was so contagious we all walked over to share this last adventure of Charley’s day. Even after playing for hours Charley still had a reservoir of energy that we humans could only wish for. I faithfully watch the Dog Whisperer. My sister raised and trained Rotts for years and I became interested in canine behavior at that time. Their expressive features amaze me and each and every one of them are special in their own way. No matter their age, breed, temperament, or even if they are blessed with what people think are regal looks or not...They are all beautiful!"
