Meet the breeder

I'm Alora B., the breeder behind Mezzo Poodles located in Spring Branch, TX. At Mezzo Poodles I raise AKC poodles who are OFA and Embark tested. I love breeding healthy, steady, and easygoing dogs in the 20–35 lb range who fit naturally into family life and adventures. I breed poodles who make great companions for real people doing real things.

Q. & A. with Alora

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As the owner of Luke’s Lodge and Dog Training, I’ve seen firsthand how a dog’s health and temperament shape their life and their family’s. I started Mezzo Poodles to raise dogs with strong foundations, balanced personalities, and the adaptability that makes them a joy to live with every day.

  • What makes your program special?

    At Mezzo Poodles, we raise AKC poodles who are OFA and Embark tested, with balanced temperaments and healthy, sound bodies. Puppies are socialized, enriched, and exposed to real-life experiences so they grow confident, friendly, and ready for family life and adventures.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are moyen size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include apricot, black, brown, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    Verified owner · Apr. 2026

    Alora is absolutely amazing! The entire time kind and forthcoming answering any and all questions I had, she was very communicative throughout the entire process and has continued to be even after being him home. A quick chat is more than enough to see how much she cares and the knowledge she has for these dogs. My puppy is now about 5 months and I couldn’t be happier since bringing him home. They started him off on the right paw and he’s continuing down that path; his temperament, intelligence and confirmation is exactly what I was looking for.

  • Kristen A.

    Verified owner · Apr. 2026

    My best friend Disha (the girl in the photos with the puppy alone) is who actually interacted with Alora and her company Mezzo Poodles, to retrieve Winnie. For clarity, she worked through my Good Dog account. Below is her honest review of the whole experience. “My interaction with Alora and her company, Mezzo Poodles, to retrieve Winnie was amazing! She was kind, responsive, punctual, informed, and extremely helpful! Alora does a fantastic job of breeding puppies in the best way possible. You can tell she is very intentional about her pups. Winnie’s temperament is one of the best and others have commented on it saying the same. The boy is fluffy, playful, quick to learn, and just has the sweetest personality. He has a bit of a spice which just adds more fun to my day. I know much of the credit of Winnie’s temperament, behavior, and overall socialization is due to Alora’s great care and attention to Winnie and each of his siblings. The best part is, I know if I had a question, I can reach out to Alora. I would definitely consider getting another puppy from her in the future.”
