Buffalo Valley Kennels

Thankful the ponds are still cool…

Had a great weekend at Music City HRC. Done tough tests but the dogs battled hard through them.

We love seeing all the summertime work being put to good use this season. Just a few of the BVK dogs getting in on the action this season.

To my brothers and sisters in faith that are going through trials and tribulations, or grieving the loss of loved ones. I hope this message strengthens you in this time and I want you to know God sees you, God loves you, and God is with you.

In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

***Planned Breeding Announcement***

Buffalo Valley Kennels is very excited to announce the upcoming breeding of HRCH Lexi Lue’s Surly Sailor MHR (One Grand pass) to HRCH Ariel’s Last One For The Road. Both of the breeding pair have proven to be excellent family companions and stellar examples of the breed, in both hunting and hunt test environments. The pedigree of this much anticipated litter is outstanding and truly shows the thought and passion that’s been put into this breeding.

The dogs included in the three-generation pedigree of this breeding are some of the most iconic dogs of the past decade in the Boykin world. Just to name a few of them: GRHRCH UH Saint Thomas Chief MH MHR OCH 10, 14 (one of four Boykins to have earned a Grand title); HRCH Lexie Lue Campbell (one of two female Boykin Spaniels to whelp a Boykin that have a Grand pass); HRCH Brandywines Summer Shandy MHR (one Grand pass & has sired the most HRCH Boykin Spaniels in history); HRCH Wrecker’s Southern Mermaid MHR (the second Boykin female to whelp two Boykins to pass the UKC International Grand & has whelped the most HRCH Boykin Spaniels in history); HRCH Justahomewrecker PCH 05, NCH 06, UICH 06, UOCH 08; Re*****on Steele (because everyone wants a Re*****on Steele puppy); HRCH UH Brandywines Bessie’s Mojo UNCH 11, UOCH 17. Of the 14 dogs that make up the three generations of this breeding, eleven of them have an HRCH title.

Not only have all the dogs listed in this pedigree proven themselves at the highest levels of the hunt test game, they’ve proven to pass down the innate qualities we’re all looking for in a hunting/family companion. We’re truly blessed to own both Sailor and Roadie and very excited to see what the future holds for their offspring and their upcoming families.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

We had a great time at the MTARC Master Test this weekend. Next up Kevil, Ky and the Grand.

Maverick with the 1st dove of the season.

Had a great trip up to PA to run High Flyers HRC this weekend. Great grounds, judges, and some really good dog work. The young Boykins all looked great running some very nice seasoned tests, pictured is Goose who achieved his HR title this weekend.

Give it two years and clubs will be begging ppl to run AKC tests.

Had a great weekend at Music City HRC passing all the dogs both days. Pictured is Contenders Sweet Tater who earned his seasoned title Saturday and his first Finished pass on Sunday.

Blue is one of the few Boykins bred whose Sire and Dam are both HRCH and MHR titled dogs. He is a wonderful reflection of the breed both as a family companion and an outstanding field dog, in his first appearance in the Open stake at BSS nationals he was one of 8 dogs called back to the final series. Blue has sired multiple titled dogs and a BSS National Champion.

The BVK family is growing 🖤 Looking forward to 2023 & the blessings & challenges that await.

Welcome to the family BVK's Rhinestone Cowboy

We haven't named his brother yet.... drop suggestions in the comments!

Traded for some of the best homemade cookies we’ve ever had here at BVK. Going to miss that dude, I think he loved being here as much as we loved having him here! we did good with this guy!

Another BVK pup putting all the summertime hard work into action. We miss all of our dogs when they go home but we love getting the field reports. Ranger (Blue x Cotton) picked up a two man limit of woodies this morning in VA.

Another BVK pup doing his thing. Rowdy owned by John and Angie Stephens picked up 27 this morning. Just look at that smile on miss Angie’s face! We love being a small part of all the memories made with the the wonderful pups and their families!

Another pup in a great home doing what me made them to do! Henny getting it done on a pair of woodies.

We love getting pics like this from owners of our pups! Gremlin has turned into a duck picking machine at 2yrs old! Proud of everything .gillette has done with him.

These are the days she lives for💕 When it's cold, but she has the gear so dad says "OK, load up!"

I'm so thankful our daughter is "not like other girls." She would rather be covered in mud, surrounded by dogs, & with her dad. That doesn't hurt my feelings, it gives me complete joy❤❤❤

Maxx owned by Melissa Thompson starting his 1st day with us watching a finished test at West KY HRC.

Warm out today…
