Florida Boykin Spaniel Club Fun Day Event

Event Date : 2026-01-31 - 2026-01-31

Location : Watermelon Pond Hunting Plantation, Archer, FL

For more than a decade, the Southern Boykin Spaniel Club has gathered dogs and people in the fields — sharing mornings that start with wagging tails and end with stories, laughter, and tired, happy dogs.

This January, we’re grateful to once again come together at Watermelon Pond Plantation in Archer, Florida. Over the years, our group has changed — as dogs pass on, new Boykins join our families, and new friendships take root. Some of the dogs who once ran these fields now live only in our memories, while many of us will be meeting new faces for the first time. We are deeply thankful to Watermelon Pond Plantation for hosting us again and allowing us to gather in a place that holds so much meaning for our community.

Morning Roustabout

Afternoon in the dove fields (final day of Florida dove season)

Main course provided — please bring a side dish

Non-hunting Boykins welcome — come for the dogs, demos, and fellowship

2027 BSS Spring National Check-In Instructions

Event Date : 2027-04-08 - 2027-04-09

Location : Headquarters 420 Broad Street, Camden, SC 29020

Check In Tips 
Welcome to the 2027 BSS Spring National! We’re excited to have you join us and want to make sure your experience is smooth and enjoyable. Please read these friendly tips and detailed instructions to help you navigate the event with ease.
Event Headquarters
The 2027 BSS Spring National Headquarters is located at 420 Broad Street, Camden, SC 29020. This is your main point of reference for the weekend’s activities.
Arriving at the City Arena
  • When you arrive, you’ll find parking available both in the main lot and the overflow area right at the arena.
  • Enter through the doors at the covered portico. Don’t worry if you’re unsure where to go—there will be plenty of signs outside and inside to help guide you.
  • Head to the far back left-hand corner for check-in.  Holly Wright and Shannon Wooten will greet you there. These volunteers will sign you in, hand you your National program (which has your dog’s running number), and answer any questions you may have. 
  • If you purchased oyster roast and/or banquet tickets, they will give you wristbands for those events. Please keep these wristbands in your vehicle, as you’ll need them for entry to those activities.
Signage and Guidance
  • Look for clearly marked signs both outside and inside the building—they’ll point you in the right direction at every step.
Participating in the Boykin Spaniel Foundation Health Clinic On Thursday, April 8th - By Appointment only
  • If you’re attending the health clinic, enter through the same wooden doors at the covered portico, but this time, head to the far back right-hand corner.
  • Signs will direct you to the clinic area, where volunteers will be waiting at a table to welcome you and assist with check-in.
  • Please bring a copy of your dog’s BSS certificate of registration. When filling out the OFA paperwork, use your dog’s BSR# in the “OTHER” registry number box.
  • If you have more than one dog signed up, the fee is $55 per dog per clinic. We accept cash, check, or credit/debit card—whatever’s easiest for you.
  • There will be tables for sitting while you complete paperwork and wait for your turn at the clinic. Feel free to ask volunteers if you have any questions during the process—they’re there to help!
  • Before coming inside, please air your dog (give them a bathroom break). If an accident happens, a mop and bucket will be provided in the clinic area. We kindly ask that you clean up after your pet, as our volunteers are busy helping everyone have a great experience.
We hope these details help you feel prepared and welcome. We can’t wait to see you and your wonderful Boykin Spaniel(s) at the event!

Southeastern Wildlife Exposition - Meet the Gundogs Demo Brittlebank Park

Event Date : 2027-02-12 - 2027-02-14

Location : Charleston, SC

Since the inaugural SEWE was held in February 1983, we have become an important and highly-anticipated event in Charleston, kicking off the city's tourism season and becoming synonymous with Presidents' Day weekend celebrations. The original show hosted 100 artist and exhibitors and 5,000 attendees. Now SEWE welcomes approximately 500 artists, exhibitors and wildlife experts and 40,000 attendees annually, generating an estimated $33 million in economic impact every year.

We are proud of the legacy we have built in our community and the conservation world, and we are thankful to those who make SEWE a tradition every February.

While we continue to grow, evolve our vision and diversify our show to entertain our loyal attendees, one thing has not changed — we have and always will remain a celebration of wildlife art and the sporting lifestyle.

SEWE is as important today as it has ever been. Our organization's multifaceted mission is imperative on many fronts. Each event brings us closer to reaching the goals we set when SEWE was founded in 1983 — to make positive contributions, through entertainment, to the genre of wildlife art, conservation, education and the local, regional and state economies.
