Bismarck ND has 3 of the top English Cocker breeder/trainers (based upon field trial results) in all of North America. I'm actually very surprised given our weather and the fact that we grow a goodly portion of the Central Flyway's waterfowl population that they haven't branched out to include Boykins. I'm surprised that you really don't even hear a whisper about them in ND/SD/MT. I have a 12wk old EC puppy currently but I'd have certainly considered a Boykin had I been able to source one anywhere in ND, SD, MT, or MN.
