Traci, I purchased Flash on 11/21/23. I was desperate for a puppy to replace the 2 I lost in 2 months time. Flash's name was changed to Dalton. He is so sweet and loving. He is definitely my puppy. He is shy about getting close to other people in the family. He is gradually warming up to my husband. Given time he will be a wonderful addition to our household. Dalton has stolen my heart.
He has seen the Veterinarian and received a clean bill of health. I have already set a date to have him neutered in February.
Thank you.

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.

Dear Tricia,
We are so pleased with our Teddy Bear Josie Lynn!!! She’s now almost 16 months old on September 1st. She was born May 01, 2021, we purchased her on July 21st 2021 and we are completely in love with this little girl!! She’s a bit stubborn but that comes with the breed. I must say the shipping was completely professional and easy and you let me choose the airport of my choice at the same price you quoted me!!
I knew you were a legit clean business when I spoke to you on the phone prior to purchase. I will be buying from you again in the future but currently have been diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer at the young age of 59!! So I’m now on a fixed income unfortunately.
I would recommend you to other customers x 1000%!!!!
Thank you for this puppy, she brings me more joy and happiness that I ever thought possible especially being my very 1st pet!! I’m over joyed with love!!!
With love,
Tammy Cajar

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!

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!”

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.

We brought our Ozzy and Max home on December 20, 2019. They are the sweetest puppies, very lovable and smart. Working with Tricia was wonderful. We wanted two puppies from the same litter and she recommended these little guys because they got along well. They still do! They are lively and playful and have so much love to give. We comment daily how sweet they are. We are so glad to have them! Thank you Tricia!

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.

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!
