2026 Boykin Spaniel Society Field Trials

April 9 @ 8:00 am - April 12 @ 5:00 pm

Whether you are competing, bringing a dog for health clinics, or simply love the breed, Nationals is an event every Boykin enthusiast should experience.

As the guide shows, BSS Nationals is about much more than field trials. It is a gathering of the community that celebrates and protects the Boykin Spaniel. Owners, breeders, trainers, and enthusiasts come together to compete, learn, connect, and celebrate the breed we all love.

Even if you are not running a dog, there are countless ways to be part of the week:

  • Watch the National Championship field trials

  • Explore the Boykin exhibit at the Camden Archives & Museum

  • Meet breeders, trainers, and fellow Boykin enthusiasts

  • Enjoy family-friendly events like Speed Dog, Children’s Handling, and the famous Hot Dog Retrieve

  • Shop Boykin vendors and Nationals gear

  • Discover the hometown of the Boykin Spaniel

Two of the most memorable events of the week are also two of the most important for supporting the Boykin Spaniel Society:

BSF Oyster Roast & BBQ Social
A fun evening to meet judges, breeders, trainers, and fellow Boykin people while enjoying great food and conversation. The link for tickets is included in the guide.

Nationals Banquet & Live Auction
An unforgettable night featuring a fantastic meal and exciting auction items. The funds raised during this event help power the work of the Boykin Spaniel Society throughout the year. The link for tickets is included in the guide.

If you have never attended Nationals before, this is the perfect year to come experience it.

Camden truly comes alive during Nationals. You will see Boykins everywhere, connect with people who share your passion for the breed, and become part of a community unlike any other.

We hope you will make plans to join us April 9–11 in Camden, SC.

Celebrate the Boykin.
Meet Your People.

We look forward to seeing you at Nationals.
