Raised with love, surrounded by family, and given the best possible start in life.
Welcome to Ten Acre Woods NC! Our story began in the spring of 2023 during lambing season when one of our sons visited my cousin’s sheep farm in Southern Utah and watched a Border Collie work livestock with incredible intelligence, focus, and joy. He was captivated and dreamed of having a Border Collie of his own. By early November, that dream became reality when Skye, our beautiful blue merle Border Collie, joined our family. She quickly became much more than a pet—she became a beloved companion, chicken guardian, walking/hiking buddy, and devoted protector of our family.
We live on ten peaceful acres in North Carolina, where our days are filled with sunshine, beautiful woods & open fields, family activities, and plenty of animals. Alongside Skye, we care for ducks, chickens, three cats, and organic lawns, herbs, and hydroponic gardens. Our three teenage sons have played a special role in caring for Skye and her puppies, helping with daily feeding, cleaning, socialization, and cuddle sessions. From the moment they were born, these puppies have been surrounded by gentle handling, loving attention, and the everyday sights and sounds of family & small farm life.
We believe that a puppy’s earliest weeks help shape the dog they will become. That’s why we focus on providing excellent nutrition, a clean and enriching environment, and plenty of positive experiences. Skye has been fed fresh, locally prepared, small-batch meals made with wholesome ingredients and no corn, wheat, soy, animal by-products, or gluten prior to conception and throughout gestation. During pregnancy and nursing, we also supplemented her diet with nutrient-rich natural foods and omega-3s to support both her health and that of her puppies. Our hope is that each puppy leaves our home confident, well-socialized, deeply loved, and ready to become a cherished member of a wonderful family. We are grateful to share their journey with you and look forward to helping them find the forever homes they deserve.
