More: Bella is a natural born swimmer. She is extremely protective and won’t allow any of the numerous wildlife to come anywhere near our backyard, be it deer, Canadian Geese, squirrels, chipmunks, or the occasional fox. She is fearless and excels at flushing birds but is equally at home being a family dog. Boykin’s are a big dog in a small package and Bella is a credit to her breed. She has two speeds, full and off!
