Do Boykin Spaniels shed?
Yes, Boykin Spaniels shed moderately and in seasonal cycles. They have a water-repellant double coat that consists of a medium-length, smooth, slightly wavy, or curly outer layer, and a short, thick undercoat.
Brushing their coat twice a week will keep it shiny and healthy, and reduce the amount of loose hairs around the home. In the warm months, some pet parents will trim the hair on the body and legs of their Boykin Spaniel, while keeping the length on the head and ears. This is called a field cut and helps reduce the amount of burs, leaves, and other vegetation that gets stuck in the coat of a hunting spaniel.
