Meet the Valley Way Dogs
We take great pride in our dogs as well as the overall breed. We are dedicated to producing the healthiest dog possible by selective breeding and extensive research on each litter of puppies we have.
Stud Males
HR South Georgia's "Waylon" Ray is the epitome of a dual purpose sporting retriever. At 43 pounds his unsurpassed drive in the field combined with his calm and collected demeanor in the home makes him the ideal companion.
Waylon has picked upwards of 1200 birds from quail to full grown speckled bellied geese. He has travelled all over the country chasing waterfowl. From treading waters hunting the black and cache river in Arkansas to the potholes of Oklahoma and Kansas. His drive to hunt has never quit and always gets excited when we start to load the truck up.

Our Females
SHR SGA's Valley Way "Tula" has carved out such a big spot in our entire families life. She is without a doubt the sweetest of all of our dogs. She is extremely well with kids and she will take any opportunity to jump in the water. Tula has the ability to cuddle up on the couch at night but she knows when to flip the switch when training as she is one of the quickest when it comes to retrieving. She is the shortest in the group but she is also the heaviest female at 39 pounds so she is very stocky with one of the “blockier” faces you will see on a female. Tula’s coat ranges from a heavy wave to a light curl depending on the time of year.
Tula is out of "HR Red Creek Delta Dawn" and HRCH KJ Just "Buck" MHR who is another one of the top Boykin’s in the country owned by Ken Sellers and Trained by Blaine Tarneki of Hudson River Retrievers. Buck has accumulated over 500 HRC points, was runner-up in the Open division at the 2018 Boykin Spaniel National Field Trial.

HR SGA’s Valley Way One Chance Fancy
Fancy is the first puppy we kept as a personal dog off of Waylon. She has solidified her role within our family and is the true epitome of what we strive the breed here at Valley Way. At 38 pounds and roughly 18-19” tall. She has a huge motor hunting the flooded rice fields and timber of Arkansas as she is one of the fastest Boykins we have ever seen and the ideal hunting companion. Fancy spends most of her day lounging in the house with our family and has incredible “off” switch when we start to settle down in the evening.

TDJAM “Caymus” in the Keys
Caymus is hands down our sweetest and the people pleaser out of all of our dogs. She is always seeking attention and refuses to leave our side. Caymus is also the smallest out of all of our dogs as she is around 30-35 lbs. However, dont let this calm and sweet demeanor fool you. She has an incredible bird drive and is extremely attentive when she hears a shotgun or a duck call. While Caymus is still very young we look forward to watching how far this girl can go. She is out of HRCH Brandywines SummerShandy-Leine and HRCH Oakley Brown.
