    Niki was amazing during our process of getting our puppy - one of her pups from the more recent litters was being rehomed and she assisted both sides during the process. She is a very responsible breeder and was a great help in arranging the logistics of the rehoming situation. We are so grateful to have such a playful, happy and healthy Collie puppy from her. Definitely recommend!

    BlackBerry Hills Cattle dogs and Collies were absolutely amazing! They were extremely sweet and honest with everything the whole step of the way. Even with my annoying asking of questions about vet visits and any issues. I loved the way that they would send me photos of his Growth. Overall amazing experience!! I love my Smokey Boy he is just perfect!

    From start to end, Niki was amazing to work with for my first puppy buying experience! Not only are their dogs gorgeous, but their temperament is unmatched! I’ve had my puppy for a week now and he is sleeping though the night, friendly with my young children, other older dog, and is learning some basic commands. Niki truly cares for each puppy as her own and I would 100% buy from her again!

    We had a wonderful experience with Blackberry Hills Cattle Dogs and Collies. They were so responsive and sent photos and updates in the weeks before we brought Lily home. We are so happy with her and thankful to have found Blackberry Hills!
