 Field types are often shaved down and should not be penalized as long as it is of appropriate length to protect the skin.Improper shaving will result in some coats growing back in with excessive discoloration, fading or graying.White markings other than a mark on the chest, or a white mark on the chest that is more than 60% of the width of the chest, disqualify puppies from being registered with the Boykin Spaniel Society, although the American Kennel Club and United Kennel Club do not allow denial of registration for conformation reasons.
