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 .

If you’re looking give them a try! Thank you Tricia

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.



What Our Customer's Say -
We love our Emma. Thank you Denning Farms. If you are thinking about a Teddybear here is your go to place.

Tricia, we are so so happy with our Bella Rose. She has brought us such love and companionship. She is healthy and loves to play with her toys and ball. Thank you for doing such a great job breeding our little girl. We can honestly recommend Denning farms when getting a puppy.
Micka & Steve Ellison ❤️
Bailey is the prefect puppy and she fit into our little family right away. She loves to cuddle and is super friendly to everyone she meets. My experience with Tricia was super positive. I am from Missouri and I was a little hesitant about putting a deposit down when the dog was out of state but Tricia was so professional it helped reassure me this a the right decision. I definitely would get another puppy from Tricia.
We are a married couple of 54 years and both of us retired from The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Mike worked in the Information Systems computer area for the hospital for 39 years. Phyllis was a Social Worker at the hospital and the community for 38 years. We have had Cavalier and Cocker fury kids all of our married lives. Our 12 yr. old Spaniel, Maddie died in May 2021. We miss her terribly. Our hearts and home want to adopt a little one to love and care for.
We have 2 adult married children and 2 adult grandchildren and 1 younger, 11 years old grandson. They love our sweet babies and care for them if we are away for a few days. So, we will be so grateful to be able to make a warm, loving home for a sweet Cavalier.

We adopted our "Winter Bear" in January of 2020. She has been such a joy for our family! We couldn't love her more! Tricia was awesome to work with in picking our puppy, we asked her for the one with a lot of personality and boy did we get that! Winnie is the sweetest, smartest little girl. We have been so happy with her, that we are adopting another from Tricia and Denning Farms.
Thanks to Tricia and family for providing us with such a precious little girl, we can't wait to meet our new one too!

This testimonial is LONG overdue! Here is our sweet Bella, she is a cockapoo that we got from Denning Farms in May 2008. She turned 12 in February and has been more than we ever could have imagined! Bella has gone through the wedding of my husband and I, three moves, two babies, and so much more! I can’t even put into words how perfect she has been since the beginning. From never crying through the night, to easy to potty train, to no chewing and beyond sweet, she’s the dog you dream to have. Even today, our vet continues to comment on how she can’t believe how Bella doesn’t “act her age”. She still is in great health and loves to play with the kids and can fetch for hours. I could go on and on but I just have to say thank you to the Denning’s for providing us with the most perfect addition to our family for the past 12 years!

This testimonial is long overdue. I purchased our adorable and amazing puppy from Denning Farms in June 2020. At the time, our boys were 18 and 20. We were sending my youngest off to college that fall and rather then enjoy a quieter home we thought what a great time to get our first ever puppy. I decided on a yorkiepoo after researching multiple breeds. I was a little skeptical about purchasing online but all of Tricia’s reviews were good. I searched for a couple months trying to find a breeder with no bad reviews and puppies available. I reached out to Tricia and she told me to check the website in a couple of days, she was about to post pictures of her newest litter. She said if you are still interested let me know. Once we saw those tiny little puppies we decided to go for it. The whole process was very easy. Tricia updated photos every couple of weeks until Lucy was ready to come home. When it was time for Lucy to join our family she took the flight from Iowa to NY. She even had a layover in Charlotte. Boy was I worried. It all worked out just fine. End result..we have the best puppy anyone could ever ask for. She is the cutest ever. Her personality is amazing. Lucy is friendly, very playful and the sweetest most lovable dog you have ever met. Most importantly she is as healthy as can be. Lucy does not shed and is about 12.5 pounds right now at 19 months old. One funny thing though, we have done 2 DNA tests on Lucy. The first was given to us to do just for fun. To everyone’s surprise Lucy is a perfect 50/50 mix, yorkie/bichon. All along we thought she had poodle in her. We are not at all upset about this. Like I said, we could not have been blessed with a better dog. Whatever the mix we wouldn’t change our decision or puppy for the world. Do not hesitate to purchase a puppy from Tricia she is clearly doing something right. Thank you so much for our perfect little Lucy!

Monroe is now a year old! She’s smart, quick learner, sweet, independent and absolutely adorable! We can’t imagine life without her!!
We also have her half brother, Morocco, who turns one in October. They’re amazing!
Our sweet Gizmo turned 10 last month. He is the healthiest sweetest boy and the most handsome. Easy to say your new puppy is great but our 10 year old is still as cute & healthy as a puppy. Will definitely look to Denning Farms again in the future.

I was totally against getting a small inside dog, and then my daughter begged for one!
In a moment of weakness I purchased this little cutie. I have completely fallen in love. This is by far the sweetest dog I have ever owned! She was a breeze to potty train, minds very well, and is a major cutler. I don’t think I will now own anything else but teddybears! We all love her! Look no further! If you have a family and want a great family dog this is the bread!
