I lived in South Carolina and have had the pleasure of meeting Leslie Kern and witnessing firt-hand her care and love for her Boykin pups. Breeding champion dogs comes naturally to her. There is no doubt in my mind that she and her champion dogs deserve every championship they've earned. I had bought a Boykin puppy from another breeder that fit in the palm of my hand at five weeks old. The pup was sickly and would have died had I not rescued it. Comparing this experience with holding one of Leslie's pups at the same age which I could barely hold with both hands demonstrates the difference in breeders. The Thornhills dogs are healthy, perfect, and well cared for by Leslie. I'm so proud of her achievements which is only possible because of the love and devotion with which she cares for her dogs. She is a true asset to the Boykin Spaniel breed and lineage.
