I had a Boykin for 6 years until I lost him to leukemia. Great house/hunting dog. After looking unsuccessfully for the right Boykin anywhere in or near Pa. , I found a Field Bred English Cocker that looks, acts, & hunts like my Boykin. I agree with rrconductor. The Boykins from a good bloodline are a great dog, but take a look at FB English Cockers if there are any reputable breeders in your area.
