Our “Leo” purchased on 6/14/21 is a warm, cuddly, smart Cockapoo!! She came to us after losing our 10 year old Cockapoo and could not have more completely filled that void. The entire process working with Tricia and Denning Farms was fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone who asks!! Leo is beautiful and loved by all who meet her!!

We have had Lainey now for four months. I can't tell you how much we love her! She is smart, playful and has the best personality! She has been very social and well adjusted since the day we picked her up. She loves all people and other dogs, no matter what the size. Lainey is well traveled, loves car rides and has flown on a plane twice! When we take her places she gets so much attention with her cuteness! She was very easy to potty train and we are now in the first stages of getting her trained to be a service dog so we can volunteer.

It is obvious that Tricia takes great care of the puppies! I would definitely recommend Denning Farms and will likely get a new puppy down the road to keep Lainey company!

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.

My Maltipoo, Joey, will be 10 years old at the end of this year….it’s been 10 years of pure joy! He is an intelligent, spirited, cuddly little bundle of love and companionship! Best of all, he is in great health and has never had any medical issues. Though I was living in Iowa when he joined me, we now live in the southwest where we can both be outside all year long. I would highly recommend Denning Farms and I thank them for my Joey!

After doing extensive searching I found Denny Farms in Iowa. I drove to a beautiful family farm out in the country. Tricia is a mom, wife and runs a business of breeding adorable puppies humanely. The website photos are accurate and if you are lucky enough to drive there you will enter a warm family home and have the pleasure of meeting her in person. Our Teddy Bear "BUDDY" has slept thru the night since he got home 5 nights ago. BUDDY adapted quickly to our home with a Female German Shepherd & Male Terrier Mix. We took him to play with children and he loved it. He will be my dads dog as his Maltese died this spring. BUDDY will spend a lot of time with us too so it is important he adjusts to people, dogs and children. BUDDY is the sweetest little guy and I would recommend Denning Farms to anyone looking for a healthy puppy with a good temperament. We are so happy to add him to our furry family!

We recently welcomed Bozzly to our family and are so in love! He is such a great pup! So good with kids and our other pups - Tricia told us his personality seemed like he would warm right up and she was so right! This morning our second pup from Denning Farms and both times the entire process has been a breeze. If you’re wanting a new pup - we highly recommend Tricia and Denning Farms!

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!

I got Darla from Denning Farms on April 3rd, 2022. (She was born in December) Best decision I’ve ever made! I obviously couldn’t pass up her precious picture online. She’s the perfect balance of sweet and spunky. She’s filled my life with so much joy over the last two months. I’ll definitely be back in the future!

I am very thankful I chose Denning Farms to find my Cavachon puppy. She was described to me as “bubbly” and she certainly is. Just a sweet, fun, adorable companion. Just what I was looking for and more.
