The Boykin Spaniel is a medium-sized breed of dog, a Spaniel bred for hunting wild turkeys and ducks in the Wateree River Swamp of South Carolina, in the United States. It is the state dog of South Carolina, where it was discovered and further developed by hunters in the 1900s.
The Boykin Spaniel is a versatile hunter, working as a retriever and upland hunter, flushing birds into flight. Pointing is not in character with the Boykin's hunting style. Their stamina in hot weather and eagerness make them good for dove hunts, but also for pheasant and other upland game. They can be used in driving deer or in tracking wounded game. Their small size makes them easy to carry in a canoe or other small boat, and they are described as "the dog that doesn't rock the boat." The Boykin was officially recognized by the AKC in 2009.

This is a community Elder from Pikangikum Ojibway Nation - a remote aboriginal community located in northernwestern Ontario. I took the photo as part of a news story assignment. The community was celebrating a major court decision that ruled in its favor.

Wasn't till I cropped the image that I saw this little spider - a Stealth Trapper. And if you look closely, you may see his web.
Latest 2021 recolour of the Matchbox Speed Trapper from Case C. Small but a novelty casting definitely aimed more at a younger audience. Not completely without merit though as it rides on chrome disc wheels, features the long running INC Construction livery plus a rotating speed displaying sign. Mint and boxed.

One can only imagine just how little it costs Mattel to make this tiny Speed Trapper model yet surprise surprise it too hasn't escaped the dreaded dull grey plastic treatment!
The concept itself is typical left field Matchbox and is probably more novelty than anything else but its cute and has a modicum of play value on account of its rotating drum with imprinted digital effect numbers. Its rear end features high levels of detailing and rides on a couple of very nice chrome disc wheels.
