Meet the breeder
I'm Karen W., the breeder behind Lakeside English Mastiffs of Georgia and North Carolina located in Murphy, NC. Our breeding program started with one small litter that turned into a fulfilling, lifelong passion! We believe there’s no greater joy than providing families with companions that share unconditional love no matter what. Our puppies are all AKC registered and parents health tested and genetic tested.
Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding loving the breed so much and had friends and family not ever seeing many of them. I wanted to give others an opportunity to own the breed that I love and cherish so much.What makes your program special?
We work so hard to have your puppy raised with much love and caring. We specialize in allowing the people who buy our pups to be allowed to come visit their pups as they are growing up. We allow for visitation even before litters are here if you would like to see the temperament of our mastiffs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Verified owner · May 2025
Our experience with Karen and Lakeside English Mastiffs of Georgia and North Carolina was nothing but positive. We drove down from Connecticut and planned to meet Karen and the puppy at 8 am. Karen. Called us at 7:45 am to make sure we were good, made it to NC safely and invited us to stop by right away rather than wait. Upon arrival she had the puppy ready for us to see and introduced us to the mother and father. She answered all our questions and sent us home with a bag of important items for transitioning the puppy to a new home. She also supplied us with food for the puppy that lasted us until we got home and could get to the store. She was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
