Our Story

Who We Are

Alger Farm began with David and Jennifer Alger in Franklin, NC. They began breeding golden retrievers and St. Bernard's, and slowly transitioned to huskies, golden retrievers, and now golden doodles. With three sons, they wanted a family dog who would be friendly, easy to train, obedient, protective, and gentle with children. They found that golden retrievers fit this description PERFECTLY and focused on sharing the golden retriever and golden doodle breed with other families.

Micah (their son) and I (Naomi) are following in their footsteps and have been breeding our golden doodles in Charlotte, NC. Our dogs Coralee and Penny are our pets and are spoiled with love and attention on a regular basis.

We both have come from families that have owned several different breeds of dogs that were all unique in their own way, but none as much as our golden doodles. Cora and Penny go everywhere with us from hiking in the mountains to swimming in the lake. They love to spend time with us and to be a part of our adventures. Both dogs have become a very personal, special part of our family. They pick up on our emotions, and often exemplify the same ones to match. Cora and Penny get incredibly excited when we come home--they "talk" to us until we acknowledge them and show them love. 

Ask anyone with a goldendoodle and they will tell you similar stories. Her calm demeanor, intelligence, and personality compare to none. We love our little addition to the family, and we hope you will find one for yours too!
