Do Boykin Spaniels bark a lot?

No, Boykin Spaniels do not bark a lot compared to similar breeds. Instead, they tend to bark moderately, mostly to alert their pet parents of approaching strangers or unusual noises or if they’re feeling especially excited.

Remember that barking is a form of communication and is totally natural for dogs. But as with any breed, some Boykin Spaniels may start excessively barking if they are consistently bored, anxious, uncomfortable, or left alone for extended periods. 

Addressing the root cause of the barking by assessing their needs, providing varied enrichment and exercise, ensuring they get plenty of comfortable rest, and using positive reinforcement training techniques can help mitigate excessive barking behavior.
