Meet the breeder

I'm Roberta H., the breeder behind West Lake Corgis located in Bolton, MA. We offer top-quality family pets emphasizing health and temperament and focusing on early socialization with people. Our dogs are bred for health, intelligence, and excellent temperaments to be long-term members of families. We focus on early socialization and exposure to a variety of environments to enhance their potential in intelligence and athletic sports and to make them stable pets.

Q. & A. with Roberta

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have a good friend who breeds Portuguese Water Dogs, and she has been mentoring me to understand the proper way to go about breeding dogs and raising puppies.
  • What makes your program special?

    The socialization of my puppies and my adult dogs to all age brackets and people with a variety of medical and emotional conditions. My dogs also get exposed to swimming via a pool and a pond and to a variety of Portuguese Water Dogs who come and train on my property for water work.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red and sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
