We have quite a few adult dogs which we breed for new litters. We specialize in Boykin Spaniels, English Cockers, and American Brittanies. Our focus is on producing quality spaniels by combining the most desirable traits of each breed. My adult spaniels are AKC and BSS registered.
I will gladly send you pictures of the parents of any current litter.

Health and DNA
My Boykin Spaniel pups are from DNA tested dogs, so you will not get a puppy affected with inherited diseases. My breeding males are clear on all DNA. None of my pups will be affected or at risk to an inherited disease that is checked by DNA test.
Registered
My Boykin adults are AKC and BSS registered. I am registering most litters AKC.
Selective Breeds
We select our sires and dams carefully to minimize the risk of problems such as hip dysplasia, eye issues, or other problems that can occur.
We work to produce dogs that are in the middle of the breed standard in regard to size. Our females average 35 pounds and males usually grow to around 40 pounds.
Testimonials

Bought our Boykin from him almost two years ago. Best dog we could have hoped for. No health issues, very smart, loving and tons of personality.

We adopted our wonderful English Cocker, Truffle, from Carey in October. Truffle has grown into the smartest, most affectionate dog we’ve ever had. He has remained in perfect health and are amazed every day at how brilliant he is in every way.
Carey is an excellent breeder and remained in contact with us following the purchase. We wholeheartedly recommend both him and his driver, Dana Smith, for providing the best cockers around.

Finn is a very intelligent Boykin and natural flusher. I took him on my first Pheasant hunt at the age of 2 with only obedience training under his belt and he made me look like a pro!

I am on my second Boykin with Carey and as usual, we could not be more pleased. We will be buying them from him as long as he’s breeding. He is very easy to communicate with and really goes out of his way to help you pick a dog that fits your lifestyle. They are always very happy and healthy dogs and if you are looking for someone who holds to the breed standard Mr. Knowles is your man and worth the drive, short or long! Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

Got our amazing Boykin Spaniel from him. Amazing customer service. I was impressed with the health guarantee that came with our pup. But he breeds such high quality pets I’m sure it won’t be needed. Thanks Carey!

We brought home our Field Bred English Cocker Spaniel, “Willow,” about 4 years ago. She has the best temperament and is Fiercely loyal. All around an excellent family dog. Working with Mr. Carey was the best experience – he was knowledgeable, honest, and trustworthy. If you’re looking for a great breeder – look no further!

Great place! We drove all the way from NC to get a Boykin from Carey. He was so easy to communicate with, and had all the information on our Otis and his parents that we needed. Otis is 1.5 years old now. He is so smart and loving…the most loyal playful dog you could ask for. We love him!

Just over two years ago I picked up my Cocker Spaniel Maverick from Carey and I can’t recommend Carey and his dogs more. Not only was Carey great to deal with, but his dogs are just lovely. My pup Maverick has the best personality and is just always down for an adventure!
