The Boykin Spaniel
Society has been paid to list the following litters and in no way does such
listing by the BSS imply any endorsement of the breeder or the litter. The only
criteria for listing a litter on this page, is that the owner of the litter
must be a member of the BSS and pay a fee for such listing. The BSS is the
Official Registry of the Boykin Spaniel and does not recommend breeders or
maintain an approved breeder list. The BSS expects all parties involved in the
purchase and sale of puppies to act responsibly and assumes no liability or
responsibility for any disputes that may arise between purchaser and seller.
Boykin Spaniel Society
(BSS) advisory regarding purchase of Limited Privilege Registration
dogs. The BSS implemented Limited Privilege (LP) registration
effective April 2006 after deciding to no longer register Boykins to co-owners.
The following legend appears on all single dog registration paperwork as
follows:
Limited Privilege Registration (LP): This status
designation may be imposed by a breeder or person on a dog or pup to restrict
or control the registration of its future offspring. If a dog or pup bears an
LP- registration classification, then the offspring (if any) of such LP-
registered dog or pup produced after such classification is imposed may
NOT be registered with the Society UNLESS the person or
breeder who originally imposed the LP-registration agrees to lift it.
Dogs or pups that would not otherwise be eligible for registration with the
Society (e.g. too much white) will NOT be eligible for
LP-registration. LP-registered dogs will be allowed to compete in
ALL Boykin Spaniel Society or Boykin Spaniel Foundation sponsored
events such as field trials and health clinics.
The original intent of
the LP designation was to allow breeders to set criteria for future breeding of
their pups such as hip/heart/eye health clearances or field performance
objectives. Once this criteria was met, the LP restriction would be lifted. The
LP designation seems, for the most part, to be working as intended. However,
the BSS is aware of disputes between individuals as a result of LP designation.
The BSS cautions anyone acquiring a LP dog to make sure there is a clear
understanding between the person assigning the LP designation and the person
acquiring the LP designated dog of the conditions that need to be met in order
to have the LP designation removed. The BSS recommends that the conditions for
lifting an LP be in writing and be agreed to and signed by both parties before
the dog is registered with a LP restriction. The BSS has no authority
to remove the LP designation from a dog without the consent and approval in
writing from the person who originally placed the LP on the individual dog. Any
disputes between parties concerning an LP dog are civil matters between the
individual parties involved and in no way involve the Boykin Spaniel Society.
