We are so in love with the 2 Teddybears we got from Denning Farms.
Thinking about #3 since my health has improved caring for these too. They definitely will get you off the couch. We are so thankful for Trica and the Spirit of Love .

I definitely recommend Denning Farms as they are truly great people and breeders! Tricia was more than forthcoming with all needed information and records. We picked one out and received the most adorable Teddy Bear female was has become a small celebrity 🥰 Everyone asks her breed and where can they find one. She has been to the Vet twice and even the people working there just can’t get enough. She was shipped to our home in Reno, NV. Absolutely no problems!
If you’re looking give them a try! Thank you Tricia

Comrade Hampton Hale (cavapoo) has been the love of our lives since we picked him up on March 2021. He was super easy to train, loves eating blades of grass and sticks (it's not like he eats freshly ground turkey daily), belly rubs, practicing his audition to be the next Air Bud (paw-eye coordination still a work in progress), smizing and reminding our neighbors that he is the mayor of our block.
I know that Comrade was part of a litter of 8, so if anyone else also added a cavapoo to their families in March 2021, please reach out to Comrade on Instagram @comrade_thecavapoo as we'd love to travel to reunite Comrade with his siblings.

I am over the top in love with my Teddbear puppy. He went to the vet 3 days after I brought him home. He had a clean bill of health. When looking at the puppies, Trisha was knowledgeable, professional and allowed us to take our time picking the perfect puppy for our lifestyle. We left with an information packet, goodies and a little blanket. I can not be happier! 5 stars from me!

We bought Cali from Denning Farms back in March 2021. I came from South Florida for her. She's a great dog and my kids absolutely love her. She does great with our other dogs. She's a little weird about going to the bathroom by herself she just stands there looking at me. Does anyone elses dog do that? She also doesn't sleep in her cage correctly but most of the time she's in bed with me anyway. If I could have another I'd buy here again but she will be our only high maintenance dog. lol

We recently picked up our new addition to the family the day after Christmas. This is the second time we have chosen to go through Denning Farms since our first experience with our son Nelson was such a positive one. Bringing our new guy Bruno home has not disappointed either. First of all it is such a blessing and so easy to work with Tricia. She truly loves all these babies and it is so obvious in her commitment to find the perfect pet parents. Shes so full of energy and joy! Secondly the atmosphere the dogs are born into is so wonderful! Their home and the dogs homes are spectacular. Our Bruno has brought such light into our lives. While is big brother Nelson is still getting used to not being the center of attention he is slowly learning to love him as much as we do. Bruno had his first puppy visit with our family vet and Dr. K made the comment about how healthy and joyful Bruno is. He said he could tell he was definitely in excellent conditions prior to coming home with us. I can not recommend using Denning farms enough if you are looking to bring a new little one into your life. Every single moment of this experience is worth it!!!

We adopted our cavachon, Louie, in June 2019. He is the sweetest, smartest, and best lil dog ever. He potty trained within days and blended into our family of six flawlessly. He is great with our four kids. Depending on how we get him groomed, he can look like a lil fluff ball, short and lean, or halfway in between. His favorite place to be is laying next to someone snuggling. We ❤️ our Louie.

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.

The Dennings Farm is top quality in breeding. This is my second Maltipoo in over 12 yrs from here and I couldn't be happier. Munchie is smart, healthy and happy. My husband is so impressed he wants another! Thank you Tricia.

Bailey is the prefect puppy and she fit into our little family right away. She loves to cuddle and is super friendly to everyone she meets. My experience with Tricia was super positive. I am from Missouri and I was a little hesitant about putting a deposit down when the dog was out of state but Tricia was so professional it helped reassure me this a the right decision. I definitely would get another puppy from Tricia.

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.
