CONGRATULATIONS TO ROLF

Dhardyg Boulder Brook (call name "Rolf") is a 13 month old male trained by Aaron Kentsler. Rolf scored 128 out of a possible 134 and earned the only Prize I of the test. Roth's conformation was rated very good. This was America's first Wachtelhund hunt test with a German judge.

BREEDING PHILOSOPHY. I breed my dogs for hunting skills, and also require they be healthy with good hips, heart, and eyes certified, as well as being sociable and friendly. This difficult task results in having very few dogs and only a few quality litters. After 2 years of growth, training and hunt testing, and medical testing, I cull the dogs before breeding whenever they do not meet my criteria. The resulting pup from such tested quality parents should grow into a healthy top notch hunting and companion dog.

BOYKIN PUPS

All Boykin Spaniel pups are well bred puppies with several generations of Orthopedic Foundation of America OFA hip certification, eye certification (CERF) as well as heart CA passes. Patella (PA) exams are now done on the sire and dame also. Last year BBK’s breeding parents had the top OFA rating of CHIC.

Due to recent developments in genetic testing, BBK now tests for EIC (Exercise induced Collapse) genes and breeds to avoid this serious genetic disease.

The Boykin pup of untested parents is likely to suffer and require, expensive eye, hip or heart surgery costing many times any savings on a pup. Costs of eye surgery $1500, single hip surgery $2000, and heart surgery of $5,000 are common.

CAUTION: BUY BOYKIN PUPS ONLY FROM TESTED PARENTS

BOYKIN BUYERS: ASK THE BREEDER FOR PROOF of OFA HIPS, CERF EYES, OFA PA patellas, EIC tests. CA is a plus. Check the website Orthopedic Fundation of America (OFA) for the parents ratings.

WACHTELHUND PUPS

The Wachtelhund Pups have been bred with similar, even more care. The DW pups have forty (40) years of ancestors which have been hunt tested for desirable hunting instincts, and health tested for “OFA” non-dysplastic hips, conformation, good bites and often times, elbow exams.

BBK breeding stock generally have had eye certifications (CERF) although DW’s are not generally known for eye problems. (One AVCO vet said to me “If you don’t look, you won’t have a problem. How will you know?”)

Can that dog hunt?

In the mandatory German spirit and tradition, all my breeding parents are hunt tested in independently judged UKC Hunting Retriever Club tests. BBK currently uses the only HUNT tested breeding parents in North America.

WACHTELHUND BUYERS: Ask the breeder for OFA or VDW HIP dysplasia ratings, ask if parents Hunt tested. OFA Elbow, & Eye CERF is a plus.

[NOTE: OFA website does not list hip ratings done in Germany]

FEEDBACK ON BOYKIN LITTER:

Our puppy, Gino, did quite well for his first long car trip. He never got sick and never whined at all.

I been working with Gino just about every day since we arrive home. He already is trained quite well. My son's friends ask if we bought the puppy trained. I have used the clicker as you mention as part of my training. Mostly reward training this early in the training process. Gino sits, stays, heels, lays down, retrieves bumpers and comes. I already have him on whistle commands.

I have trained 6 dogs in my life time. Mostly all springers.

I honestly can say that I don't remember any dogs responding so quickly to the training.

I know it is still early yet? But so far Gino has a great temperament, No barking, great on car trips, sits nicely, likes other dogs, Very bold and eager to explore, not afraid of loud noises. Likes retrieving and swimming.

So far so good.

Our vet has check Gino and has given him a excellent bill of health… I would like to have him compete in Hunting and field trials.

It was nice meeting. Thanks for a great pup.
