Meet the breeder

I'm Debra and Michael R., the breeder behind Hickory Springs Corgis located in Lima, NY. We find so much joy in watching our puppies grow and develop their own unique personalities. Socializing our puppies for their future family is key to their development. They are introduced to our family, and pets in the house including cats. Our pups are well bred and well loved, it shows!

Q. & A. with Debra and Michael

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We started with breeding German Shepard Dogs in the 1980s and switched over to Pembroke Welsh Corgis in the 90s after we met two very happy little Corgis on our street. We fell in love with Corgis and over the years switched over to Corgis. We now exclusively raise and breed Corgis. We started with the purchase of Hickory and Ginger who were our very first breeding pair,and the rest is history!
  • What makes your program special?

    Love, commitment to excellence, raising them for families, not money. Our goal is to match a beautiful, happy puppy with the right family and their needs. We have been successful placing our puppies with the best loving families and environments. We have so many happy customers and returning families which speaks volumes. Check out our puppies and you will be happy you did! Contact us now!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include fawn, red, sable, white and red, white and black, blue, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

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

    Debra and Michael were amazing! They always kept me updated with photos and everything going on. They were super informative, giving me tips on raising a corgi which has really helped a ton. My girl Azula is doing great, I’m so grateful to have her in my life!

    Debbie and Michael were absolutely wonderful! Mike, the driver they set me up with who transported our beautiful puppy was also amazing. Our puppy is thriving in our home with his older brother and Debbie has been in communication with us along the way. Would highly recommend!

    Debbie and Mike made this such a great experience. As first time puppy owners, they were fantastic about giving tips and advice when bringing home our new pup. They thought of everything and made for a smooth transition to our home. They even have a fantastic driver who delivered our new baby from NY to DC at a very reasonable rate. Since drop off, they have checked in numerous times and are invested in the health and happiness of all the puppies they raise. I cannot recommend them enough!

    Debra and Michael were very responsive. They answered all my questions. We spoke for an hour when I went to meet Kiwi I heard about how they take care of their corgis and make sure they are happy and healthy. I couldn’t take home my puppy right away when she was ready and Debra and Michael were very accommodating with holding on to her for me. I was able to meet Kiwi a couple weeks before taking her home. They sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated on how Kiwi was doing. They are very knowledgeable and a very good dog breeder. Kiwi is adorable and I’m so happy she’s mine.

    We just brought our puppy home last week and the transition could not have been easier thanks to Debra and Michael. Not only were updates given prior to pick up but any questions we had after getting our puppy home were answered immediately. You can tell how much each puppy is cared for and loved by Debra and Michael, it is so nice to know they will always be just a quick message away with all the answers due to their wealth of experience in raising corgis. I couldn’t recommend them enough if you decide to get your forever corgi pup!

    Debbie and Michael were so easy to work with and so helpful! They answered all my questions prior to making any decisions and walked me through the process. When I came to pick up Kyrie (previously Sierra Nevada) they took the time to walk me through all of the paperwork and what my family and I needed to know to be successful with a new puppy. Kyrie is a joy to have in our house. She loves meeting new people, loves to explore, and has been learning her name, to come when called, and to use the bathroom outside. Thanks to Debbie and Michael for all of your help!
