I'm the breeder behind Alvy's Poodles and Doodles located in Mckinney, TX. We strive to breed healthy and happy Poodle and Doodle pups that will make a great addition to your home! We want our pups and families to have the best experience, so we health test prior to breeding, use Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and other early-stage programs. We love on the pups in our home until they find their fur-ever homes!
About Marnie
We are committed to staying connected to our puppy families throughout their lifetimes to ensure they never feel alone and can raise their new, furry companion with confidence and joy.
What makes Marnie’s program special
Our dogs are an integral part of our family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family - that they have a purpose.
Marnie has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,500 and include a non-refundable deposit of $200.
“The price includes a two-year health guarantee, first round of vaccinations, deworming, microchip, and early socialization. This deposit holds your spot on the picking order list and is non-refundable. It is due when the puppies are two weeks old. If you choose not to get a puppy from the litter your deposit is transferable to a future litter.”
Marnie may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Marnie offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Marnie directly.
Our puppies live in our home and are socialized with our children and other dogs. Additionally, we use ENS and other enrichment activities to introduce them to sights, sounds, and textures early in life which produces more well-rounded and balanced temperaments. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with Adult Dogs, Sound Stimulation, House Training, Bella and Baxter Training, Various Surfaces, Noise Desensitized, Crate Training, Basic Manners, Grooming Desensitization, Potty Training, and "No" Biting or Chewing.
All puppies are vaccinated, dewormed, and taken to the vet for a check prior to going home.
We send our puppies home with Puppy Starter Kit, Blanket with Littermates' and Mom's scents, Vaccinations, Toy with Mom's Scent, Puppy Collar, Microchip, and Food Starter Bag.
Marnie offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at a meeting point close to home.

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).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
