What Our Customer's Say -

My name is Marisa. I was 10 last time I was emailing you regarding your cockapoo liter born on July 1, 2007.
My dreams came true, and we adopted Nike, cockapoo male #5 born on July 1, 2007. Today will be 14 on July 1, and is still kicking it and we are blessed.
He has been a joy. Full of personality, and so so funny. He is healthy (Thank goodness), and has the energy of a 3 year old puppy. His groomer always comments on how healthy his coat is-so shiny and thick, and full of color. We sometimes wonder how this happens but are so grateful.
Here are some recent pictures of him. I figured you’d like to see as I don’t think we ever sent you any updates.
Thank you for giving me my best friend. He has been such a light in my life when I’ve needed him most.
Hope you are well.

This testimony is long overdue. We received our teddybear shichon puppy in January 2021. As a first time dog buyer this was a great experience working with Tricia. She answered all my questions upfront when initially researching as well as assisted in determining the best puppy to put our deposit on. She also surprised us with being in our area to drop off the puppy versus our drive to get him. Leo is a fabulous puppy and has a very similar demeanor to what Tricia relayed when he was only 8 weeks. He is an absolute joy to our family! Thank you so much Tricia to you (and your husband for the drop-off) throughout this process. I highly recommend Denning Farms for anyone interested in one of these breeds.

🐶Daisy🐶This little puppy has brought me so much joy❤️We have been blessed for a year now and it was the best decision we ever made❤️

First off this was the best breeder I had contacted about Teddy Bear pups. There are a lot of scammers-Tricia is definitely not. So thorough and down to earth from our initial inquiry until my husband picked the pup up from her house. Our Teddy Bear pup named Bear is the absolute best! He is a joyful little guy who LOVES being around our 3 and 5 year old. Happy, not at all aggressive, loves to play and loves nap time and bedtime. We were beyond thrilled with our experience and would hands down recommend both Denning and Teddy Bears to anyone. Our special little guy doesn’t shed, gives lots of kisses (especially when we wake up, he just licks our faces straight for 5 minutes) and was potty trained by month 3. We couldn’t have picked a better family dog!
We bought a Teddybear puppy on 11/12/22 and she is an absolute joy. The Dennings are a class operation and we highly recommend them!

DearTricia, Bella Rose will be 1 Year on April 2nd. She has been a Godsend. Bella is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and she is our love dog. Bella loves to play with her ball and all her toys.
She is very intelligent…that must be the poodle in her. I think the Maltese part of her is mischievous and too funny. We chose the perfect puppy, and we are so happy we got her from Denning Farms. ❤️

We named our Teddybear puppy Remy. We were so excited to meet her so it felt like an eternity waiting to pick her up at the airport on January 7th. Initially I was worried about her long travel day to us but she arrived so happy and healthy. Remy is gentle, playful, incredibly smart and a total cuddle bug. Potty training has been pretty easy as it seems that she came to us already knowing that she must handle her business outside. She immediately slept in her crate only waking once during the night to potty for the first week. Since then she has been sleeping through the night without any issues. I mean is this even normal for a puppy!? I honestly feel that Remy's temperament is a testament to the wonderful job that Trisha and her family do raising these puppies until finding them their forever home. I will be honest and say that I had some reservations about purchasing a puppy from out of state and from a picture but this turned out to be the best decision ever! We absolutely adore Remy! When it is time to get our Remy girl a sibling we will definitely be coming back to Denning Farms! THANK YOU TRISHA!!

I am absolutely grateful for finding Tricia and Denning Farms, a year ago while battling anxiety and depression, my dog has been the best emotional support animal and brought so much joy to my life!!!!! Great customer service, updates were always on time w/ pictures and fast shipping too. Time has really flew by now Senna Chanel is 1 years old day!!! Thank you again.

We got Lindie Jo from Denning Farms in January 2021. Tricia was wonderful to work with and Lindie Jo couldn’t be any smarter and has the best personality! She has brought so much joy to our lives! We recommend Denning Farms every chance we get!
