Where they grow up

Life on the Farm

Our Border Collies live as family on a working mountain ranch in Ellijay, Georgia — not in kennel runs. Litters begin in a safe, quiet whelping facility. Adult dogs work and rest on the property; puppies grow up with the same people who live here.

The porch pack. Adult dogs share the house, the deck, and the view — the same family and home the puppies are born into.

The farmhouse sits in the trees above the pastures. This is home base: a safe whelping facility for new litters, and the house the family shares with the dogs.

Raised underfoot

Litters begin beside mama in a safe whelping facility — quiet, clean, and close to family. From there the puppies stay mostly inside, growing up underfoot with household sounds, visitors, and the life of a working farm just outside the door.

How the adults live

Breeding dogs are household dogs. They hike the property, rest on the deck, work livestock when there is work to do, and sleep in the home — the same standard we want for every puppy we place.

Ready for an active home

Border Collies thrive with people who will give them a job, a walk, and a place on the couch. We help match energy and temperament so the fit lasts.
