 Welcome to
Tidewater Springers...
of Holden Beach, NC
​

​Formerly known as Carolina Kennels/ Springers.  They say imitation is flattery but due to copycat kennels using our name, we have decided to change our name to Tidewater Springers after 30 years as Carolina Kennels.  But we are the same, same location, same quality and same people.  And yes, the shrimp boats bring fresh shrimp to Varnamtown which is about two miles from us.  The ocean air fills our community.
​We occasionally breed AKC - UKC English Springer Spaniels and pride ourselves in solid temperament, health, and  conformation.   Our puppies excel at search and rescue, performance, conformation, therapy, and hunting.  Excellent health and loving temperaments are our specialty!!  Conformation and dog show performance are absolutely a plus!  Check back for updates.  Thanks for visiting with us today.

           UKC BEST in SHOW
​----------------------------
We have earned several BEST IN SHOW ribbons with our springers,  Gibbs and  Caylee. It was such an honor.​​  In addition, I have spent 25 years working my dogs in the field with the Brunswick Search & Rescue Team in Brunswick County, NC; earning the 2023 Volunteer of the Year for Brunswick County and North Carolina. We searched for missing persons on land, disasters, drowned and buried at the request of law enforcement.  We are humbled by these honors working with such dedicated teammates. ​ But the best of all is snuggling with our canine family on the couch and watching dog shows on TV when we are not in attendance.  Nothing like a springer for family love.

As you can see...we participate in lots of springer activities.  Many of our springer puppy owners do the same including dock diving, obedience, show, hunt, therapy, and search and rescue.  Our lines love working!!  They also love couch patrol and lap cuddling!  If you are considering a springer, remember, they are super intelligent and love learning new things!!  Get ready because your life will never be the same.  Photo is Search Dog Bailey flying through the woods.  We miss you dear Bailey.
