Picking up from Chatherine and her crew is always a pleasure. She puts a ton of effort into her goldendoodles and it shows. Below is an excerpt of her and her familie’s story from their website:

Hi, We're the Allisons. We are a small in-home breeder located in Chattanooga, Tennessee! My husband, Chris and I have been married for 10 years. In 2019 I was on a down spiral after trying to conceive for several years, and literally tearing myself down as a woman that I couldn't give my husband a child, I screamed, cried, and prayed. The one thing a woman can do, I couldn't. I was in a horrible mental space and I needed to step back and reevaluate my life. I did extensive research on different breeds and specifically an emotional support, I stumbled across "Goldendoodles". I found Brittany, an amazing Goldendoodle breeder with extensive background for SA/ESA with her puppies and program. After several conversations and back and forth, I decided to join her waitlist. In 2019, we brought home Cooper, my foundation male to our program. When I tell you 2019 was the best year of my life, I'm not exaggerating, he was everything I ever dreamed of, so attentive the emotional connection was almost immediate. Of course my husband loved him because he made me happy, but Cooper literally SAVED MY LIFE! He is my child, he showed me and taught me how to be a mother, maybe not the normal mother you would consider but the only mother I was capable of being and after him I was okay with that, it was a love I've never known. Of course him being as amazing as he was you know I had to add another, several months later we found another amazing breeder Christie and we brought Cora home into the family. I did my research day in and day night, I told my husband my plans of wanting to become a breeder and bring families the same joys my babies brought me. He knew it made me the happiest I ever been and he'd support me through anything. And so, Allison Family Doodles was born. I started this journey to ultimately bring your family the same joy that our babies have brought to us. My goal is to raise top quality goldendoodles, our parents are health tested and cleared. Our parent dogs are family and treated as such, they live by us in our home hogging our king size bed and hearts.
