November 2020: Sadly, Lacey went to the Rainbow Bridge last month. At 15 years old, she proved to be one of the sweetest and most loving springers. We miss our little Lacey but know she is breathing well up on the streets of gold. We shall see her again someday.
March 29, 2016: Just had to post these amazing pictures of one of our puppies who has entered the arena of dock diving... ESS Jackson under the expert supervision of Leigh Sauls and Astro Kennels makes his debut:
Lauren passed away in October 2022 at the age of 14 years. I sooo miss my little movie star who was featured in a Ralph Lauren Furniture ads when she was younger. What a neat experience and a brief spat of working as a search and rescue dog as a youngun. The best hugger and strutter around. Love my little Lauren.
The amazing Jackson practicing his dock diving with his handler, Leigh Sauls!
Springers having fun!

October 23, 2015: It just does not seem like so long ago that we did our last update...but time flies. It was a hot summer and we sadly lost Ringo to the Rainbow Bridge in August He was the temperament to strive for and such a good boy!! We will miss him. They never quite stay around long enough...
Auggie, Ringo's son, joined the Fisher family...so they do have his bloodline and disposition to love for many years to come. Watch for his pictures to be added to Our Springers link soon.
We have not been to any shows lately...but have done tons of search and rescue training and getting settled back in Holden Beach/Supply, NC. We survived all that water flooding about a week ago with no damage and lots of luck. All is well at Carolina Kennels. We are wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday season as Thanksgiving and Christmas approach...seems just like yesterday the last one went by. Surely, we will post again this year. Springer hugs to all.

February 20, 2015: All is well here at CK...wanted to share the latest information on spaying and neutering with you...Say Nay to Spay...read the whole article here recommending alternatives to the traditional spay and neuter techniques. Research is now showing more and more the links to cancer and other health issues. Make your decisions carefully.....click here for more information. "as published in Perspectives, the AKC Delegates Newsletter, Vol. 28, No. 1, March, 2015."
February 7, 2015: Hope all is well across the USA! We are all doing well and looking forward to showing in a UKC show tomorrow/Sunday. Isaih will be showing Gibbs in Juniors and Regular Champion class in Lumberton at the Fairgrounds at 9 am. Drop by to see us if you are in the area.
Search training continues regularly with Gibbs demonstrating he is definitely up for the challenge and doing quite well.
Watch for our latest book... How to Train a Human Remains Detection Dog to be released this month. It follows the 2014 release of Training a Search and Rescue Dog For Wilderness Air Scent . I think I will take a break from writing for a while...grin. Check www.christyjudah.com for more information there. But know that the Human Remains book is not for the light of heart to read....pretty heavy. Better to read the English Springer Spaniel Puppy book for pleasure........Cheers....
