5.0 out of 5 stars Boykins Rule!! Other Dogs Droll??, February 12, 2005

We have owned several Boykins and I have read several books about them. The other books mentioned their beginnings, but until I read this book, I wasn't sure how true the rumors were. It's a wonderful book for adults and children. Great for someone thinking about getting a Boykin. They are exactly as described in the book. I call them my forever dogs, because once you own one, you'll remember them forever.

What a welcome book for those of us who love Boykin Spaniels. To learn the history of this wonderful and loving dog is something we can pass on to our family and friends. The illustrations are great and help to bring this story of Dumpy and Singo alive to our children. I knew that the Boykin Spaniel was bred in South Carolina but had never heard the story of how it all got started or that Gov. Riley made it the "Official Dog" of S.C. Thanks to Mr. Kelley I now know "the rest of the story".

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The First Boykin Spaniels: The Story of Dumpy and Singo

This is a great book to share with your children and adult friends who are boykin enthusiasts. It tells of the history of the boykin spaniel in South carolina. My family has always loved boykin spaniels and had them around their houses but none of us knew the exact story of how they came to be. The Story of Dumpy and Singo is definitely worth purchasing and reading. It also makes a great gift for family and friends. It is lighthearted and well written and gives a true depiction of why we Boykin lovers adore these dogs so much.
