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!!!

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

Love these dogs, best companions ever. Kirby came home almost 5 years ago and has been a blessing ever since. Penny just turned 3 and she is the big, bossy younger sister to Kirby! We are even thinking about getting a 3rd here soon!

Ruby Cavalier whelped on 5/16/19. I selected her for her head size and long snout (pick of litter) and she is a superior specimen. 26 lbs,lean and a wonderful disposition. Denning farms treated us well and their Cavalier genetics are top notch.

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.

We recently welcomed Bozzly to our family and are so in love! He is such a great pup! So good with kids and our other pups - Tricia told us his personality seemed like he would warm right up and she was so right! This morning our second pup from Denning Farms and both times the entire process has been a breeze. If you’re wanting a new pup - we highly recommend Tricia and Denning Farms!

This is Bella Rose, our Maltipoo. We are so happy and pleased we purchased her from Denning Farms. Tricia was professional and honest, and we can highly recommend Denning Farms for any one of their breeds.

Falkor is a little over a year now got him last September. He loves playing with his toys & running around the yard. He also likes to play with his 2year old brother who is also a cavachon. He's been a amazing addition to the family 🙂
