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 .

If you’re looking give them a try! Thank you Tricia

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.

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.

Gracie Lou (3yr) & Daisy Mae (3mo) are now Sisters. Gracie is a fabulous Maltipoo and Daisy is a Cavachon and our newest addition this week. We have been so happy with Tricia and the Denning Farm breeds. Both dogs are extremely smart, easy to train, and very healthy, playful dogs.
Looking forward to a great summer with these little nuggets!
We got Hawkeye and Wrigley (Teddybears). Hawkeye is now 9 years old and Wrigley is 8 years old now. We love these two so much! Hawk is very snuggly and loves our son so much. Wrigley is a little jealous but such a happy pup as he likes his snuggles during the night before bed. If we ever want another pup again we will definitely being getting another from Denning Farms! ❤️

Hi there,
We are still absolutely loving our puppy Freo that we purchased from you back in April! He is healthy, and full of energy!!! We couldn’t be more pleased. He truly be any cuter either!
I did have a question for you. When we first got him, you sent us home with some food samples you use, but I had never heard of the brand back then, and couldn’t find it. Was the brand “Zignature” by any chance?
Freo seems to be licking his paws a lot, and throws up about once a week, so I think it’s time we look into a different diet. He’s been on Purina Pro Plan. Just curious what you use since you feed a lot of little mouths!
Thanks Tricia!

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!

First off this was the best breeder I had contacted about Teddy Bear pups. There are a lot of scammers-Tricia is definitely not. So thorough and down to earth from our initial inquiry until my husband picked the pup up from her house. Our Teddy Bear pup named Bear is the absolute best! He is a joyful little guy who LOVES being around our 3 and 5 year old. Happy, not at all aggressive, loves to play and loves nap time and bedtime. We were beyond thrilled with our experience and would hands down recommend both Denning and Teddy Bears to anyone. Our special little guy doesn’t shed, gives lots of kisses (especially when we wake up, he just licks our faces straight for 5 minutes) and was potty trained by month 3. We couldn’t have picked a better family dog!

DearTricia, Bella Rose will be 1 Year on April 2nd. She has been a Godsend. Bella is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and she is our love dog. Bella loves to play with her ball and all her toys.
She is very intelligent…that must be the poodle in her. I think the Maltese part of her is mischievous and too funny. We chose the perfect puppy, and we are so happy we got her from 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.
