Boykin Spaniels of
Hollow Creek
Patricia L. Watts with Hollow Creek's GusWelcome to Hollow Creek Kennel! I am the proud owner of Hollow Creek’s Emma, Katy, Kaycee, Ellie Mae, Fancy, Cami, Rosa, Pumpkin, Gabby, Gertie, Polly Anna Belle, Minnie Belle, Edisto, Samm, and baby Maga. In truth, they actually own me …. they allow me to play and train with them. My kennel has produced many exceptional Boykin Spaniels since 1987... including over 70 Champions. My babies in “Always remembered” are the foundation of all my Boykin blessings. They have greatly blessed me with unconditional love and devotion... which I have fully returned.

In 2016, We welcomed Richard Cunningham, into our pack. I have known Richard since I was in the second grade in Augusta, Georgia. The pack really loves him!

We are blessed to have found our slice of heaven in 1991 right on the shores of Lake Murray in Leesville, South Carolina. We don't boast of a lot of acreage, air-conditioned kennels or that we've been doing "the Boykin thing" for more years than is actually possible. We are so happy that our dogs have such a wonderful home where they can run, swim and play.

Hollow Creek Kennel is a private kennel and a therapeutic hobby for me - not a profession. I am not a professional "Boykin anything". I am a Boykin Spaniel lover!. I actually trained and hunting my Boykins for over 30 years. They are family pets as much as they ever are hunting companions. Our lake cottage is a slice of heaven to us.

Breeding is something I do occasionally. It is my sole desire to breed the best with the best in the hope of producing the best. That is the luxury of a hobby versus a living. I can be very selective as I do not mass produce! I do not have multiple litters on the ground at the same time. Mills do. The Boykin Spaniel is a rare breed and it is still evolving. I feel that it is my task to keep them evolving in the right direction. I practice ethical and responsible breeding to ensure physical and mental soundness and adherence to the breed standard. Preservation and the improvement of the hunting and working instincts of the Boykin is my goal, while maintaining the breed's standards.

Conformation, OFA evaluation, CERF testing, DNA testing, hunting ability, general intelligence and disposition should all be considered when breeding a certain sire to a certain bitch. Without doubt, all of these qualities and conditions combine to form the total...healthy.... dog. It seems as if every couple of years a "new" test for yet another genetic condition comes out...and so we add that on too. Do not even CONSIDER buying from a breeder who does NOT test. Your heart will later be broken... as will your pocketbook.

My puppies are whelped inside my home. They remain inside where they are socialized, loved and handled. Then, at five weeks of age...they are moved to the Nursery in the garage...and weather permitting, they are taught to swim and are introduced to my adult dogs for further socialization. They learn quickly from the older dogs about playing, accepted behavior and what will not be tolerated. It is marvelous to watch the interaction between the older dogs and the puppies. It takes an entire kennel to raise a good and well adjusted puppy. :-) They are not placed into the outside area until the 7th week....they have so much to see out there....along with learning different sounds ....and actually running free with ears flying along with the entire pack!!! What a sight!

"Coming to the whistle" is something that I start teaching when weaning begins at 3 weeks - so that when the pups are placed in their new home, they understand "to come when called". Retrieving instincts and personality are all evaluated by me personally every day for 8 weeks.. They are all distinct individuals - but the common thread is that they are the most loving, devoted and intelligent dog I have ever known. When you look into those eyes - SOMEONE is looking back. You can see them thinking. At Hollow Creek Kennel, I do things differently ....... the pups pick their homes.....it works!.

Boykin owners can spin many wonderful and even tall tales about their dogs and I'm no different. I'd rather talk to you about things my dogs have done with me and for me, than anything else. When someone calls to chat about Boykins, time flies, as do the stories!!! Puppies are placed with folks who guarantee to stay in touch and send me photo updates regularly. And when they want to add to their family, they call me for guidance.

When looking for a puppy, the initial cost of the puppy is the smallest expenditure you will incur during the lifetime of the dog. Get it right from the onset. Purchase a quality puppy from a responsible breeder.... and there are very FEW of them. Never "budget" when purchasing a Boykin Spaniel …. The pups health is most important … if you are bargain hunting,,,there are many poor/irresponsible breeders of Boykin Spaniels who will certainly accommodate you.

Happy Hunting! Patricia L. Watts Leesville, SC
