Document has been reformatted to meet World Wide Web specifications.)                 A house RESOLUTION   to recognize and honor the Boykin Spaniel Society of Kershaw County for its exceptional dedication to preserving and promoting the Boykin Spaniel breed through responsible breeding, health initiatives, and community building and to congratulate the society for almost five decades of service to the South Carolina state dog.
  Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to learn that the Boykin Spaniel Society, organized in 1977, will celebrate a half century of preserving and promoting the Boykin Spaniel breed in 2027;
and   Whereas, in 1985, Governor Richard W.
Riley signed legislation designating the Boykin Spaniel as South Carolina's official state dog.
The Boykin Spaniel is the only dog which was originally bred for South Carolina hunters by South Carolinians.
It has developed into a breed with superb hunting instincts and a mild temperament, and they are thus highly regarded as pets and hunting dogs;
and   Whereas, the objectives of the Boykin Spaniel Society are to serve as the principal registry for purebred Boykin Spaniels and to maintain accurate and complete records of all Boykin Spaniels registered in what is known as the Boykin Spaniel Registry;
and   Whereas, the society seeks to advance the use of the breed standard by all members and breeders in the selection and breeding of the Boykin Spaniel, encourage and promote the breeding of healthy purebred Boykin Spaniels, and do all possible to perpetuate their natural hunting ability;
and   Whereas, in order to continue to preserve the breed, the Boykin Spaniel Society strives to do all in its power to protect and advance the interest of the breed by encouraging responsible breeding practices and sportsmanlike competition.
The society promulgates, adopts, and enforces a code of ethics for members and breeders while serving society members and the general public by offering resources for information concerning the attributes of the Boykin Spaniel;
and   Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the exceptional work of the Boykin Spaniel Society to preserve the breeding practices for and perpetuate the hunting ability and instincts of the state dog.
Now, therefore,   Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
  That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Boykin Spaniel Society of Kershaw County for its exceptional dedication to preserving and promoting the Boykin Spaniel breed through responsible breeding, health initiatives, and community building and congratulate the society for almost five decades of service to the South Carolina state dog.
  Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Boykin Spaniel Society.
