Bob Barnes has been an AKC Certified Breeder of English Springer Spaniels (field strain) since 2004.  He has been working with dogs all of his life at the family dog kennel.  His grandparents,  Jim and Doris Cocallas, founded Carriage Hill Kennels and is now owned and operated by their children, Chris Cocallas and Francine Barnes and grandchildren Bob Barnes and Jim Cocallas.  ​

​The English Springer Spaniel has been endowed with style, enthusiasm, and an "eager to please" quality common to most spaniels. They are recognized for their ability to persevere under adverse hunting conditions, which is partly due to their medium-size and powerful body. They have long, hanging ears and a moderately long coat that can be black or liver with white and tricolor.

Cheerful and affectionate, Springers love their families and like to stick close to their owners. They make excellent house pets, but require daily exercise.

Bob personally manages the entire breeding process and insures that all puppies parents’ hips are always x-rayed (OFA), eyes are CERFed, and all Springers come with AKC registration papers.
