We brought home our sweet little JoJo in January. She’s the sweetest, little yorkiepoo! She’s super tiny, barely over 5 pounds at 7 months old. She has the best temperament, so loving and smart. We could not have asked for more. It is overheard at least 10
times every day “she is so cute!”

My puppy, Ziggy, will be celebrating his 2nd birthday on November 24th. Our experience with Tricia Denning was wonderful! She was very thorough and answered all of our questions in a timely fashion. We were going back and forth between two puppies and she was very patient with us. We drove 16 hours total to pick up our puppy and I would do it all over again! He is the healthiest, happiest puppy ever and is the perfect addition to our family. Thanks again Tricia and Denning Farms!!

Hi Tricia and Family, it has been a long time since we picked up our sweet Curly (Puggle) from your home 9-22-2012. Today July 28 2022, we are celebrating his 10th birthday. we have had no issues with our fine Puggle. Since the day we brought him home he has been a joy to have in our family. He has grown with Steven through the years walking with him to the bus stop, going on walks, playing in the snow or just being lazy etc...Steven was 7 and is now going to be a senior in high school what a long road traveled. I am thankful that I found you and was able to bring our sweet dog home so many years ago... God Bless Ellyn PS wish I could more pictures... 🙂

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.

Hi Tricia,
Just wanted to send a photo of Milo after his first groom. He is a 4 month old bundle of joy, energy and happiness. He was easy to potty train and continues to be a daily delight to us. He is such a cuddler and affectionate companion.
Thank you for sending us such a happy, healthy puppy.

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

I purchased a Yorkie poo 2 years ago & have been so pleased with her. She has the run of the house 24/7. She doesn't bother anything, not even a sock on the floor. I would recommend Denning Farms to anyone looking for a good dog.
