Meet the breeder

I'm Carolyn H., the breeder behind Lakewinds Collies & Bulldogs (English & French) located in Newtown, CT. We are the owners/breeders of the #1 Rough Collie in America for 2006. We offer the highest quality for the discerning fancier. We focus on health, temperament, intelligence, and conformation. I think the biggest thing I ever won in dogs - is not the Best In Show Awards, National Wins, and #1 Ranked Rough Collie in the Breed in America - but taking my 4 Bulldog puppies to the children who survived the Sandy Hook Shooting - 3 days after the catastrophe and seeing the children smile and interact with the puppies! One little girl who was so traumatized and they couldn't reach her - completely came back by having my puppy crawl on her lap and lick her face! The puppies ended up growing up with these children at The Community Center and they were given special titles by the AKC with SHTP (Sandy Hook Therapy Puppies) after their names.

Q. & A. with Carolyn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was fascinated by Lassie and dreamed about having my own puppies one day. We have now been breeding Collies for over 45 years and have success in showing and breeding wonderful companion dogs, some of which are service dogs!
  • What makes your program special?

    I think our following of the Golden Rule is key. We also both have an overwhelming passion to preserve the purebred historic breeds. We work hard so our puppies can leave our home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family!
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Collie puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our French Bulldog puppies are brindle. Bulldog puppies include fawn and white. Collie puppies are sable and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
