My name is Joey Coleman. I have been an avid Outdoors man and grew up hunting in Prince
Edward County, in a place called Darlington Heights,Va.  I have always been fond of the sporting
and the hunting dog breeds. I have had German short hair pointers and Labrador retrievers. In
1999, I  came across the Boykin Spaniel through the introduction to a Boykin Spaniel breeder by
the name of  Jeffery D. Gibbs ,( I now know him as''Bo''). After watching his Boykins in action, I
knew I just  had to have one of my own. I did my homework and gathered as much information as
I could to educate my self about the Boykin Spaniel.

After negotiating with“Bo,” I purchased  my first Boykin. She goes by the name of Scarlet. Scarlet
and I spent every daylight hour after work training in the woods. I had no clue on what I was doing
because she was a puppy and I was a novice Boykin Spaniel owner. I called Mr. Gibbs and
Jason Corp ,(who works and helps on the Bo's tree farm) every couple days and ask them for
advice. There advise was very helpful and to the point.  I owe a lot to those guys because as
Scarlet grew older, she started to progress with what I was training her to do. “ FLUSH GAME !”  
What a thrill!  All of those hard working days came together. Turkeys  flushed in different
directions and watching Scarlet do her job was exciting.  I have also trained Scarlet to trail blood.
Chris Brown,( who is my bow hunting partner), and I enjoy using Scarlet when it comes to
tracking are our game. I am in the process of training Ginger, who is from another litter of Mr.
Gibbs. She is well on the way of becoming the Boykin I know she will be.

I acquired Dixie and Jenny in 2005 . Dixie and Jenny were  rescued from a fellow in Chesterfield,
Va. They are a little bit older  than my first two boykins but I am hoping to teach a them a new trick
or too. Most of our training can be contributed to the “Bo Gibbs Boykin Spaniel Hunt Club.” The
hard work and dedication from all us have made “beating the brush,” fun and memorable. As
every Boykin is always ready for the next hunt, I look  forward to seeing them do what they do
best. I  promote good  nutrition and good health. I’m  proud  to own Boykins and know they will be
the dogs of the future. I’m glad that the Boykin Spaniel Society strives to keep the breed “in
check.” Through my endeavors with my Boykin Spaniels,  I try to provide  proper education of the
breed in my area. With that in my mind, may all who encounter the Boykin Spaniel, lead the way
and protect the integrity of their future. Let no Boykin be left behind!
