UKC registered blue merle, about 40 pounds, one copy of the merle gene. DNA tested and clear of 30 genetic conditions common in the breed. Exceptionally sweet, people-oriented, and easy in the pack. Strong natural instinct with cattle and livestock, calm protective awareness, and a temperament that is as gentle at home as it is driven at work.
AKC and UKC registered. A 45-pound rough-coated tricolor with outstanding temperament and strong natural ability. DNA tested and cleared for 30 genetic diseases; zero copies of the merle gene. Excellent herding instincts, highly socialized, wonderful with people and children, and our friendly ambassador at work. Loves activity, belly rubs, and any water he can find.
The sweetest girl — loyal, affectionate, attentive, and alert, with amazing herding instinct. She is social with every dog on the farm and at the office. Gentle even with pups, and just as happy bringing in cattle as she is lying upside down in a lap. AKC registered, zero merle genetics, and DNA clear for more than 20 diseases common in Border Collies.
A fun, energetic, affectionate boy — intelligent and eager to please, with a beautiful coat and disposition. AKC, UKC, and ABCA registered. A handsome red merle whose offspring carry his brightness and heart.
Welcome to Nine Peaks Farm. We are a family-run ranch in Ellijay, Georgia, where the animals come first and the land is the backdrop for a life well lived. The farm is a symphony of happy sounds — the chatter of chickens, the gentle lowing of cows, and the energetic barks of our favorite four-legged friends.
Our heart beats for our dogs. Every animal here is a member of the family. We believe in “enrichment through action,” which is why our dogs have miles of land to explore and plenty of mental challenges to keep them happy and healthy.
The most rewarding part of our work is watching puppies grow. Mothers and newborns begin in a safe whelping facility, with quiet space to bond. From there they grow up underfoot with the family, so they leave us social, confident, and ready for their forever homes.
When you bring a puppy from Nine Peaks Farm into your life, you are getting a piece of our heart.
The short answers to what most families ask us. For anything else, the contact form below is the fastest way to reach the farm.
A puppy packet, Wisdom Panel DNA test results, an up-to-date vaccination record, a blanket and litter scent, treats and starter food, a care sheet, AKC or UKC registration, and a starter leash. Every puppy leaves ready for a confident first week.
Mothers and newborns begin in a safe whelping facility beside mama, then puppies grow up underfoot with the family, not in kennel runs. Every day includes handling and early socialization, and the adult dogs live in the home, on the porch, and out roaming the expansive farm.
Yes. All four breeding dogs are DNA tested and clear for the genetic conditions common to the breed, and Ridge and Cherokee have also completed OFA prelims.
Join the list with the form above. When the next litter is confirmed, we reach out with photos, dates, and next steps. Joining the list is free and carries no obligation.
We encourage in person pick up in Ellijay, GA, and we gladly arrange meet and greets with the puppy for families in the Ellijay area. We do not currently work with any carriers.
Our puppies are offered in the $1,500–$2,500 range, registered AKC or UKC, with everything included. A deposit secures a puppy once a litter is confirmed, and we share details when the next litter opens.
