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 are so happy with our cavachon pup, Auggie, from Denning Farms! We picked him up from the St. Louis airport cargo area last month. We were lucky as the Denning’s were coming our way to ship other puppies from St. Louis. At pickup we witnessed a very organized process for getting the other puppies checked in for their flights. Tricia also gave us a great goodie bag complete with a blanket rubbed on his siblings and some food to get him started. He gets cuter every week and is taking to his training right away!

Chief will be 4 in July and we do not know how our family ever survived without him. His energy, loyalty and overall kindness is overwhelming. His desire to not know a stranger can be tiresome at times, but he is a very important part of our family.

Gracie Lou (3yr) & Daisy Mae (3mo) are now Sisters. Gracie is a fabulous Maltipoo and Daisy is a Cavachon and our newest addition this week. We have been so happy with Tricia and the Denning Farm breeds. Both dogs are extremely smart, easy to train, and very healthy, playful dogs.

Looking forward to a great summer with these little nuggets!

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!
