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

We brought Ellie home last Friday. Her arrival at the airport was a breeze. Nearly a week that she's been with us and am so grateful to have this little ball of joy as part of our family. She is so easy going and relaxed, even sleeping through the night. Just working on the house training now. Made it through her first vet appointment with flying colors!

Thank you Tricia! She is a true angel!

I absolutely LOVE my teddy bear!! He is so smart, lovable and a blessing to our family. Trisha you do a great job, in raising these furry babies. I can’t believe mine will be 10 yrs old, in 5 months.

We adopted a Teddy Bear puppy January 2023. We love him to pieces! He is so fun with loads of energy! He let's us know when he needs to lay down too. As a 1st time puppy owner, I really was going in clueless. Tricia did give us suggestions and a pamphlet. She also gave us a toy and a blanket to bring home and a bag of food to start him off to a good start! Since we were over 2 hours away she was able to meet us half way. I would recommend her. They are beautiful puppies! Everyone loves our Koda! Koda loves everyone too!! ❤️ 🐾🐶

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.

I purchased a Teddybear puppy (Male # 5a) last year and he has been such a wonderful addition to our family. He is the second dog I have owned after my first Teddybear dog passed away. I highly recommend Denning Farms. I am so in love with my fur baby and he turned 1 on 03/07/2023!

I got Luna in January 2019 and she has been the best friend a girl could ask for. She is such a sweet cuddle bug but she loves romping in the outdoors too. The whole process of getting her was super easy and the folks at Denning Farms were wonderful to work with. Luna has been a happy and healthy little dog and I have recommended Denning Farms to several friends already.
