Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Big Bay Kennels LLC located in Tabor City, NC. We strive to produce quality puppies that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. As breeders, we feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of our puppies and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for before joining their forever homes.

Q. & A. with Johnny

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My wife and I met some Springers during search and rescues, and I started working with the breed through duck hunting. We fell in love with these wonderful dogs and decided to share our love of Springers through responsible breeding.
  • What makes your program special?

    We obtained our USDA class A breeder license about 4 years ago. We are also a licensed pet transporter! We researched all of our potential breeding dogs for temperament and genetic health and we stop breeding our females at age 5. Our vet does all our vet care (tail docks, dewclaws, etc.). On-site, we provide our puppies with dewormer and flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. We care about the work we do and commit to answering texts and phone calls from potential buyers. We have high expectations for our puppies and make sure to place each one in an enriching and loving home that will match their temperament and personality. We love what we do and truly want the very best for our puppies and their forever families.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
