We are so in love with the 2 Teddybears we got from Denning Farms.
Thinking about #3 since my health has improved caring for these too. They definitely will get you off the couch. We are so thankful for Trica and the Spirit of Love .

I definitely recommend Denning Farms as they are truly great people and breeders! Tricia was more than forthcoming with all needed information and records. We picked one out and received the most adorable Teddy Bear female was has become a small celebrity 🥰 Everyone asks her breed and where can they find one. She has been to the Vet twice and even the people working there just can’t get enough. She was shipped to our home in Reno, NV. Absolutely no problems!
If you’re looking give them a try! Thank you Tricia

Comrade Hampton Hale (cavapoo) has been the love of our lives since we picked him up on March 2021. He was super easy to train, loves eating blades of grass and sticks (it's not like he eats freshly ground turkey daily), belly rubs, practicing his audition to be the next Air Bud (paw-eye coordination still a work in progress), smizing and reminding our neighbors that he is the mayor of our block.
I know that Comrade was part of a litter of 8, so if anyone else also added a cavapoo to their families in March 2021, please reach out to Comrade on Instagram @comrade_thecavapoo as we'd love to travel to reunite Comrade with his siblings.

I am over the top in love with my Teddbear puppy. He went to the vet 3 days after I brought him home. He had a clean bill of health. When looking at the puppies, Trisha was knowledgeable, professional and allowed us to take our time picking the perfect puppy for our lifestyle. We left with an information packet, goodies and a little blanket. I can not be happier! 5 stars from me!

We bought Cali from Denning Farms back in March 2021. I came from South Florida for her. She's a great dog and my kids absolutely love her. She does great with our other dogs. She's a little weird about going to the bathroom by herself she just stands there looking at me. Does anyone elses dog do that? She also doesn't sleep in her cage correctly but most of the time she's in bed with me anyway. If I could have another I'd buy here again but she will be our only high maintenance dog. lol

We recently picked up our new addition to the family the day after Christmas. This is the second time we have chosen to go through Denning Farms since our first experience with our son Nelson was such a positive one. Bringing our new guy Bruno home has not disappointed either. First of all it is such a blessing and so easy to work with Tricia. She truly loves all these babies and it is so obvious in her commitment to find the perfect pet parents. Shes so full of energy and joy! Secondly the atmosphere the dogs are born into is so wonderful! Their home and the dogs homes are spectacular. Our Bruno has brought such light into our lives. While is big brother Nelson is still getting used to not being the center of attention he is slowly learning to love him as much as we do. Bruno had his first puppy visit with our family vet and Dr. K made the comment about how healthy and joyful Bruno is. He said he could tell he was definitely in excellent conditions prior to coming home with us. I can not recommend using Denning farms enough if you are looking to bring a new little one into your life. Every single moment of this experience is worth it!!!

Our maltipoo, Milo, turned 1 year on July 4. He is the most wonderful pet anyone could ask for. He brings us a tremendous amount of joy every day. Milo’s temperament is that of a sweet, loving dog. We wanted a lap dog and we definitely got one. If we are sitting down, he is in our lap!!! He is very smart and trained easily.

We have had Lillie Mae for just one week. She had a puppy groom yesterday and did very, very well. Two days after we got her she had a vet visit. He said her confirmation was perfect, heart, lungs, knees, and hips healthy. She was so comfortable she fell asleep on the puppy scale. Raising a puppy is a challenge, but she is a love!!!🥰🐾

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!

My late husband and I got our Cockapoo from Dennings in 2005. He was a perfect match for us, energetic, healthy, inquisitive, intelligent, with a “please be my friend” attitude toward everyone he met. Curly traveled far and wide with us, hiking in Colorado’s mountains, swimming in a river near our daughter’s home, and loved being loved on by our eight grandchildren. Sadly, my husband (Curly’s Papa) passed from cancer in 2012. I still had to work, and Curly was so lonely without Papa. He went to the animal shelter with me and picked out a kitten, Bella. They bonded immediately. We lost Curly from congestive heart failure at age 15. The hole in our hearts is still immense, but I know he and Papa are reunited and Bella and I will see them again.

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.

It took me 12 years to decide on a pup since my Doberman crossed over.I looked a couple breeders of small dogs because of my health limitations.
MY teddy bear has put so much love to us and am so thankful for Dennings quality pups.
I'd even like another.
I'll post a picture of Harley if I can figure it out.
Thank you so much for this little guy.Hes 6 months old and 11 lbs.

Our Cockapoo, Bailey, is the best dog I have ever had! She is so loving and such a cuddle dog. She loves to play and go on walks everyday!

Everyone that meets her says she is the most lovable dog - always giving kisses!

She rings the bell to go out rarely has accidents - so smart!

She sleeps with us and cuddles so much it is adorable.

Thanks so much for this precious gift in our lives!

My Chloe was born on May 7th 2021. She is a cavachon and the best decision I made in my life. Tricia and her family did a marvelous job of socializing their puppies. My other dog had passed away and I was overcome with grief. So I made the decision to get a new puppy to make the missing of my other dog a little easier. I loved my Bella but I have to say that this dog is the smartest dog that I've ever owned in my entire life. She's just barely over a year old now and still all puppy. I recommend Tricia with my whole heart for the way that she cares for these puppies. We love Chloe so much that we're actually now trying to think about going and getting another one. Chloe needs a friend that can run around and chase her. We have another older dog but she just can't keep up with Chloe LOL. So I hope to see them again real soon to add another family member to our household.
