My husband and I absolutely love our Teddybear Louie!!!

It was very obvious that our little boy had been well taken care of and loved prior to our adoption. The moment we met him, he was confident, extremely social and cuddly and absolutely adorable!!!

Tricia listened to our needs and wants, knew Louie’s individual personality and recommended his adoption. She spent her valuable time educating us on his history and gave us information and tools to set us all up for success. She also went above and beyond to help us connect even with difficult scheduling conflicts on our part.

We highly recommend Denning Farms for healthy, happy and well loved fur babies.

Thank you for everything Tricia!

Andy, Linda, & Louie

Hi there,

We are still absolutely loving our puppy Freo that we purchased from you back in April! He is healthy, and full of energy!!! We couldn’t be more pleased. He truly be any cuter either!

I did have a question for you. When we first got him, you sent us home with some food samples you use, but I had never heard of the brand back then, and couldn’t find it. Was the brand “Zignature” by any chance?

Freo seems to be licking his paws a lot, and throws up about once a week, so I think it’s time we look into a different diet. He’s been on Purina Pro Plan. Just curious what you use since you feed a lot of little mouths!

Thanks Tricia!

I purchased a Teddybear puppy (Male # 5a) last year and he has been such a wonderful addition to our family. He is the second dog I have owned after my first Teddybear dog passed away. I highly recommend Denning Farms. I am so in love with my fur baby and he turned 1 on 03/07/2023!

DearTricia, Bella Rose will be 1 Year on April 2nd. She has been a Godsend. Bella is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and she is our love dog. Bella loves to play with her ball and all her toys.
She is very intelligent…that must be the poodle in her. I think the Maltese part of her is mischievous and too funny. We chose the perfect puppy, and we are so happy we got her from Denning Farms. ❤️

My name is Marisa. I was 10 last time I was emailing you regarding your cockapoo liter born on July 1, 2007.

My dreams came true, and we adopted Nike, cockapoo male #5 born on July 1, 2007. Today will be 14 on July 1, and is still kicking it and we are blessed.

He has been a joy. Full of personality, and so so funny. He is healthy (Thank goodness), and has the energy of a 3 year old puppy. His groomer always comments on how healthy his coat is-so shiny and thick, and full of color. We sometimes wonder how this happens but are so grateful.

Here are some recent pictures of him. I figured you’d like to see as I don’t think we ever sent you any updates.

Thank you for giving me my best friend. He has been such a light in my life when I’ve needed him most.

Hope you are well.

Hi Tricia and Family, it has been a long time since we picked up our sweet Curly (Puggle) from your home 9-22-2012. Today July 28 2022, we are celebrating his 10th birthday. we have had no issues with our fine Puggle. Since the day we brought him home he has been a joy to have in our family. He has grown with Steven through the years walking with him to the bus stop, going on walks, playing in the snow or just being lazy etc...Steven was 7 and is now going to be a senior in high school what a long road traveled. I am thankful that I found you and was able to bring our sweet dog home so many years ago... God Bless Ellyn PS wish I could more pictures... 🙂
