As a quality breeder of Boykin Spaniels, I receive many e-mail inquires about pups and Boykin Spaniels in general.....and while I while I do read all of them ... I am seldom able to answer each one on a personal level... so I produced a simple generic letter concerning pups which I hope will answer some of your questions about me and my current or upcoming litters.

First, let me thank you for your interest in Hollow Creek puppies. The waiting list is currently "open" for the litters due this spring. If you have done your research, you know that the Hollow Creek bloodline is most exceptional and my pups are from hunting stock and not show stock. While most have received bench titles, they were hunted first for year's prior. I wanted to know that Boykins could do anything..... and still be absolutely beautiful.

My soapbox about show breeders and "mini mills": Sadly, most '"show breeders" have what I call "disposable" dogs which are bred often... never actually hunted (but are thus represented as if they do online) and are breed just for "showing" standards. Then these "disposable" dogs are sold like property and new ones "grown" out to continue the cycle. You can tell who does this by the ever changing names of the dogs on their web sites AND such people generally breed and sell at least one other breed of dog. I call it "mini-milling." So please do not financially support such breeders by purchasing their pups which usually cost the same as my pups.... and continuing the cycle which will altar this breeds intelligence for the sake of a specific type of coat. The versatility is what makes this breed so unique.

do not require that pups be placed in a hunting home. Boykins are all-purpose companions and have much to offer as a family member regardless of whether or not they are hunted. The fee is $1200.000 for male or female. Established bloodline quality is important even for "just a pet"...as you should want a healthy and intelligent pet for a family member. So do not "budget" if you desire to purchase a Boykin Spaniel ....for there are many health issues and far too many irresponsible/dishonest/backyard/puppy mill breeders of Boykins. Cheaper ... and "easier to obtain" today..... will be costly later.... both emotionally and financially. If budget is an issue, I urge you to look for another breed as you get what you pay for in a Boykin.

I do not require a spay/neuter contract: however, I do CO-own all my pups (AKC & UKC registries) & use Limited Registration with the BSS only to protect my pups/bloodline from being over-bred or resold to other breeders.

You will have to call and speak with me personally if you want to discuss getting on my puppy waiting list. Please try to call between 6 PM - 8 PM. If I am not available.... Please leave a message .... However, it may take me a couple of days to get back to you as this is also hunting season!

Hollow Creek's Gus was chosen to represent the Boykin Spaniel breed in the 2008 Howell Book Of Dogs. I believe that this is the first time they have ever recognized the Boykin Spaniel breed. It is an honor that they chose my bloodline to feature as representative of the breed...but, their character description of the breed is a bit off in my opinion. I am also the breeder of the first two Boykins to be titled by the AKC in their Spaniel Hunt Test

Happy Hunting,
