My Boykin is a 13mo female. She's as good a dog as I've ever owned. Great personality, very eager to please. Loves the woods and field. She's always "hunting" though not sure what for. She loves to play fetch. I'm working with her best I can on retrieving work. She's pretty solid on bumpers and marked retrieves. High drive. Steady at heel. We've introduced feathers and she loves that. She loves to chase squirrels. She's naturally "birdy." I can't afford to send her off for professional training so I'm doing it myself. Her eagerness to please has made obedience and the training I've done so far pretty easy.
