What Our Customer's Say -

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

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!

We got our Puggle, Mike, from Tricia at the end of November 2021. She answered all our questions and was very friendly and informative. She provides a great environment for her puppies, and Mike is the best! He was a happy, healthy puppy who has grown into strong and healthy dog with a great temperament. He loves everybody, human and otherwise, and is a terrific member of the family. We look forward to working with Trisha again soon to get a buddy for Mike. Thanks, Trisha!

My husband and I have purchased 2 Teddy bears over the last 8 years from Denning Farms.
Our babies are absolutely precious to us. They are affectionate, smart, friendly, and well-behaved.
Thank you for breeding such wonderful puppies. It might be time for us to come get a 3rd pup. 😉

We picked up our Maltipoo puppy 'Snowy' over the christmas break when he was 9 weeks old. Tricia was kind enough to send over a toy and a blanket rubbed on his litter, which made his initial adjustment easy. In addition Tricia was a pleasure to work with, very professional and helped keep me updated on the puppy during his first 9 weeks.
Snowy has brought so much unconditional love and cuddles since his arrival. Thank you to Denning Farms!!

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!

We purchased our 19 week old Cockapoo (male - named Gipper) from the Denning Farms on December 11, 2021. We are a senior couple in our late seventies and live near Seattle, WA. We asked Tricia for the most laid back or easy going cockapoo out of her litter of 5 males and 2 females. She helped us pick the male B cockapoo (Gipper).

Our experience with Tricia was outstanding. She went out of her way to make sure that the puppy was sent via airplane on a non-stop direct flight to Seattle for the safety and concern for the puppy's welfare and comfort.

Gipper was an addition to our house to fill in for the loss of our beloved Cockapoo (Scooter - female) who passed away (age 15 years old) on September 13, 2021.

Gipper is the most wonderful puppy we have ever raised. He is extremely bright, easy to train and the most affectionate dog we have ever had for a family member. He has brought so much happiness and life into this household. The very first night he slept 9 hours. He has continued to sleep quietly every night for at lest 8 - 9 hours. After only 2 1/2 weeks he is almost house trained. He learns something new everyday. He is not a barker (except when he sees a dog or hears another dog). Yesterday, he learned to sleep in a dog bed during his afternoon resting times.

This is the best Christmas present to ourselves in decades. Thanks to Denny Farms and Tricia for making this possible.
