description: More than just a hunting dog, the Boykin Spaniel, a breed that harkens back to a sire named "Dumpy" in the 1920's7, has become the official South Carolina state dog. How this little brown dog squirmed his way not only into the hearts of over 12,000 owners, but into political debate, is what intrigued fellow authors Creel and Kelley. Together they have created a comprehensive history that documents the first appearance of the breed, as well as the formation of the Boykin Spaniel Society that established a set of standards for breeding and judging. Also included are chapters depicting the dog in art and literature, as well as advice on naming practices, providing care, field training, breeders, and competitions.
