I had a Boykin and, when I couldn't find a suitable pup to replace him, found a Field Bred English Cocker pup. My EC is also liver colored. They are so similar in behavior, mannerisms, and hunting style that I couldn't tell the difference in the two if I didn't know their lineage. I've found both to be great house dogs and hunters. Both of mine were/are great on pheasant flushing and retrieving. Both loved water as well. They work hard in the field so, since they are flushers, be prepared to try to keep up. Buy from a reputable breeder and check carefully on their blood lines.
