What Our Customer's Say -
We are so in love with our Teddy Bear. It took us a few days to name hime but after a family vote he has been named Frankie. He has never met a person he doesn't like. He is entertaining and a huge snuggler. The cat isn't happy he is here but he keeps trying. He is pretty smart. He is 75% potty trained already. Frankie has already been to the groomers and was a real hit with the girls there.
Denning Farms has helped fill a hole in our home since it's been two years without a dog. Frankie is a healthy guy and Frankie thinks everyone should get their puppy at Denning Farms. Even traveling 4 hours to get him was worth every minute. Tricia accomodated us and we appreciate her time with us.
I picked up Lily on Mother’s Day weekend in 2012. I was looking for a puppy since we had recently lost ours and was not sure if it was the right choice. I was searching late one night on the website and found the teddybear puppies and instantly fell in love with her little face and pink bow. I called Tricia the next day and that was how it all began. I loved the fact that the family posted pictures and videos of the puppies so you could watch them play and grow and see them interacting with her children before they came to their new home. I was a little nervous of purchasing a dog online. However, it was the best experience I ever had and when I pulled into their driveway I was confident that I made a great decision. Tricia is very knowledgeable and gives you a lot of information to prepare for the new addition. Lily has been a perfect fit to our family. She loves people, was easy to train, loves car rides and even at her age is still very playful. She has also been a great dog to be with my aging parents. They absolutely have also become attached to her. I would not hesitate to purchase my next puppy from them.
We just love our 2 Cavaliers we bought from Denning Farms. We enjoy them so much. They are healthy and we have so much fun with them. We are very happy with our purchase 1 year ago.

My puppy, Henry, just had his first birthday this past Sunday so I wanted to come and leave a testimonial for Denning Farms! Henry has been such an amazing addition to our family (my husband and I). Everyone that meets him tells us that he is the cutest dog they have ever seen, and I definitely agree! I had never heard of a cavachon before finding Denning Farms, but I recommend the breed to everyone now! I can't wait to add a second pup to our family and will definitely be working with Tricia again when the time comes. This was our first dog as adults, and Tricia made the process so easy and we could not be happier. Henry has been extremely healthy and always gets rave reviews from his veterinarian. Highly recommend Denning Farms!!

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.

Our little Deeks is 2 years old today. It is hard to believe we have had him 2 years already. He is a smart, loving, sweet little dog. He is a fighter. He came down with parvo 6 days after we got him, but fortunately, God had his hand on our little pup and helped him survive. We love him more than words could ever express.

Hello! Mia, a teddybear puppy, joined our family Feb 2020, just before the pandemic really set in. She was definitely the bright spot in a pretty dim situation. She is the absolute best puppy; couldn’t imagine our family without her! Tricia was great to work with and answered all of our questions. She invited us into her home to meet Mia and one of her older female teddy bears, who was just as sweet as Mia. If you’re concerned about this being a puppy mill, don’t be. You can tell the min you meet Tricia that she loves all her pups and they are part of her family. I recommend her to anyone that asks about Mia and will definitely get another puppy from her!

We got Lexie, a Teddy Bear, from Denning Farms in 2016 to keep our senior Maltese, Izzy, company during the day while we worked. They became besties! We were so happy with our Lexie that when we lost Izzy in 2021, we immediately thought of Trish at Denning Farms to help us and Lexie fill the hole in our hearts. We went online and fell in love with Teddy Bear Female#4! She's the one with the heart-melting expression and the brown patches in her coat. We emailed Trish, then watched and waited until the magical 8-week date came and then we picked her up at Jax Int'l Airport in October 2021. The little furball in that crate stole what was left of our hearts!
We named her Zoey and she keeps Lexie running! Now Lexie is the big sister and her little sister Zoey is her bestie! We recommend Denning Farms to everyone we know who is looking for a great doggie from a very professional breeder. You can tell these puppies are raised with love from birth and for the time they are at the farm--to me, that is very important! Thank you Denning Farms for our little loveys!

Finn is almost a year old he will be Dec 5! He has flown with me to visit my daughter in Texas! He has been on a road trip to Kentucky! He loves going in his stroller into a few shopping spots! I took him out Halloween trick a treating with my granddaughter! He is good with kids and other dogs! Very smart dog! Fireworks don’t seem to upset him! He doesn’t mind rain or thunderstorms! I took him out young with a raincoat on to get him use to it! I think he was potty trained by 7 months! Eventually I want to take him on my kayak! Living in a condo on the third floor he has learned to go up and downstairs and has a best friend three doors down! Finn is a very sweet dog with a lot of energy! Loves cuddling and gives great kisses
I got Trixie from the Dennings 3 years ago. She is funny, loving, and all around the best dog. Tricia was very easy to work with then and also now since I'm getting another Teddy Bear from her this weekend!
