Meet the breeder

I'm Catherine A., the breeder behind Allison Family Doodles located in Ooltewah, TN. We’re a small, family centered breeding program built from a lifelong love for dogs. We raise our puppies right in our home, where they’re loved as family from day one. We focus on health, temperament, intentional raising and giving each puppy the very best start before joining their forever family!

Q. & A. with Catherine

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It really began with my heart dog, Cooper. He came into my life during a season when I needed him more than I ever could have known, and the love, companionship, and healing he brought me completely changed my life! Cooper was so much more than a dog, he was family, my best friend, and ultimately the reason I fell in love with the idea of creating that same kind of connection for other families!
  • What makes your program special?

    What makes our program special is the heart behind it! Our puppies are raised right in our home with intentional socialization, enrichment, and lots of hands on love. We prioritize health tested parents, amazing temperaments, transparency, and lifelong support for our families! We don’t just raise puppies, we raise family members!
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include petite, miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream, apricot, red, chocolate, black, phantom, merle, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
