Hello Tricia!
We just wanted to send you and updated picture of one of the puppies you sold over the summer. This is Brutus, he is now about 9 months old. He’s happy and healthy! He’s also very curious and full of energy. Loves to play first, eat second and sleep third!
Thanks,
Jennifer R.

I purchased a Yorkie poo 2 years ago & have been so pleased with her. She has the run of the house 24/7. She doesn't bother anything, not even a sock on the floor. I would recommend Denning Farms to anyone looking for a good dog.

Love these dogs, best companions ever. Kirby came home almost 5 years ago and has been a blessing ever since. Penny just turned 3 and she is the big, bossy younger sister to Kirby! We are even thinking about getting a 3rd here soon!

Tricia:
Our beautiful cockapoo that we got as a puppy through Denning Farms turned 16 today! She has been such a loving, healthy, energetic family dog to us and we love her to pieces. Lola is still full of life and taking her walks with us and lot of snuggles. We had a big birthday party for her with all her friends. A little hard of hearing and lost some teeth, but other than that, doing amazing.

Many thanks for the best dog ever!

My little Rosebud started out as quite a handful but one and a half years later, I see that she is just so smart and has a huge personality. Once again, my life is greatly enhanced and I have Tricia to thank.

I highly recommend Denning Farms. You will not be disappointed.

We brought Ellie home last Friday. Her arrival at the airport was a breeze. Nearly a week that she's been with us and am so grateful to have this little ball of joy as part of our family. She is so easy going and relaxed, even sleeping through the night. Just working on the house training now. Made it through her first vet appointment with flying colors!

Thank you Tricia! She is a true angel!

We got Lexie, a Teddy Bear, from Denning Farms in 2016 to keep our senior Maltese, Izzy, company during the day while we worked. They became besties! We were so happy with our Lexie that when we lost Izzy in 2021, we immediately thought of Trish at Denning Farms to help us and Lexie fill the hole in our hearts. We went online and fell in love with Teddy Bear Female#4! She's the one with the heart-melting expression and the brown patches in her coat. We emailed Trish, then watched and waited until the magical 8-week date came and then we picked her up at Jax Int'l Airport in October 2021. The little furball in that crate stole what was left of our hearts!
We named her Zoey and she keeps Lexie running! Now Lexie is the big sister and her little sister Zoey is her bestie! We recommend Denning Farms to everyone we know who is looking for a great doggie from a very professional breeder. You can tell these puppies are raised with love from birth and for the time they are at the farm--to me, that is very important! Thank you Denning Farms for our little loveys!
