Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Southern Way Farm located in Midway, KY. I'm just beginning my breeding journey! I'm excited to help preserve a great American breed and share them with others. My dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family. I prepare all of my pups to excel in life.
Lynne’s experience
About Lynne
…I was a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 16 years until I went into “human” nursing! I understand the importance of a complete package -- that being preserving the breed's hunting drive, health testing, temperament, and conformation. I won’t breed for one over the others and believe a thoughtful and researched breeding is what will keep this breed strong. I have had Boykins for 12 years and started by assisting my father with breeding his Boykins. I am in the process of completing all necessary health tests as possible on my female. I run her in field trials and hunt tests and feel that getting titles on a dog helps to show they do have that hunting instinct and are trainable.
What makes Lynne’s program special
I see a lot of Boykins out there that have not had the proper testing and have issues. I want to preserve this breed by keeping good genetic variables in the breed. They are still considered a rare breed and as such keeping as much excellent genetic diversity is important.

More about Lynne
Why Lynne started breeding
After getting my first boykin I got involved with hunt tests and training about 12 years ago ( my oldest is 14). I have always wanted to breed but waited until the right dog came along.

Parent health testing
Boykin Spaniel
Southern Way Farm reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Boykin Spaniels.
Elbow Dysplasia (Preliminary)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
