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 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!

Thank you Denning Farms, Shelby is such a good girl who loves giving kisses & playing with her sister Lucy in the fenced in back yard burning off all that puppy energy that they both have an abundance of. She's a perfect fit to our family and we love her to pieces.

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.

My Oonagh is 4 years old now and has been a joy. She is healthy, happy and quite the traveler! She is great with even the newest grandbabies and has a wonderful disposition. Thank you Tricia!

My little Rosebud started out as quite a handful but one and a half years later, I see that she is just so smart and has a huge personality. Once again, my life is greatly enhanced and I have Tricia to thank.

I highly recommend Denning Farms. You will not be disappointed.

Chief will be 4 in July and we do not know how our family ever survived without him. His energy, loyalty and overall kindness is overwhelming. His desire to not know a stranger can be tiresome at times, but he is a very important part of our family.

I got Darla from Denning Farms on April 3rd, 2022. (She was born in December) Best decision I’ve ever made! I obviously couldn’t pass up her precious picture online. She’s the perfect balance of sweet and spunky. She’s filled my life with so much joy over the last two months. I’ll definitely be back in the future!

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
