My puppy, Henry, just had his first birthday this past Sunday so I wanted to come and leave a testimonial for Denning Farms! Henry has been such an amazing addition to our family (my husband and I). Everyone that meets him tells us that he is the cutest dog they have ever seen, and I definitely agree! I had never heard of a cavachon before finding Denning Farms, but I recommend the breed to everyone now! I can't wait to add a second pup to our family and will definitely be working with Tricia again when the time comes. This was our first dog as adults, and Tricia made the process so easy and we could not be happier. Henry has been extremely healthy and always gets rave reviews from his veterinarian. Highly recommend Denning Farms!!

It took me 12 years to decide on a pup since my Doberman crossed over.I looked a couple breeders of small dogs because of my health limitations.
MY teddy bear has put so much love to us and am so thankful for Dennings quality pups.
I'd even like another.
I'll post a picture of Harley if I can figure it out.
Thank you so much for this little guy.Hes 6 months old and 11 lbs.

My husband and I have purchased 2 Teddy bears over the last 8 years from Denning Farms.
Our babies are absolutely precious to us. They are affectionate, smart, friendly, and well-behaved.
Thank you for breeding such wonderful puppies. It might be time for us to come get a 3rd pup. 😉

I want to thank Tricia for providing such a wonderful experience for a first-time dog owner. It was very easy to communicate with her throughout the whole process. And of course, we could not be happier with our Pup, Dexter. Our journey began when he was born on May 15, 2020, and we could barely contain our excitement to meet him for pickup on July 17th(and Tricia). Sure, being from Michigan, I was a little apprehensive giving a deposit to a breeder two states away. It was again Tricia being so professional and forthcoming with updates on her website that just assured me that we made the right decision. Thank you again.

This testimonial is long overdue. I purchased our adorable and amazing puppy from Denning Farms in June 2020. At the time, our boys were 18 and 20. We were sending my youngest off to college that fall and rather then enjoy a quieter home we thought what a great time to get our first ever puppy. I decided on a yorkiepoo after researching multiple breeds. I was a little skeptical about purchasing online but all of Tricia’s reviews were good. I searched for a couple months trying to find a breeder with no bad reviews and puppies available. I reached out to Tricia and she told me to check the website in a couple of days, she was about to post pictures of her newest litter. She said if you are still interested let me know. Once we saw those tiny little puppies we decided to go for it. The whole process was very easy. Tricia updated photos every couple of weeks until Lucy was ready to come home. When it was time for Lucy to join our family she took the flight from Iowa to NY. She even had a layover in Charlotte. Boy was I worried. It all worked out just fine. End result..we have the best puppy anyone could ever ask for. She is the cutest ever. Her personality is amazing. Lucy is friendly, very playful and the sweetest most lovable dog you have ever met. Most importantly she is as healthy as can be. Lucy does not shed and is about 12.5 pounds right now at 19 months old. One funny thing though, we have done 2 DNA tests on Lucy. The first was given to us to do just for fun. To everyone’s surprise Lucy is a perfect 50/50 mix, yorkie/bichon. All along we thought she had poodle in her. We are not at all upset about this. Like I said, we could not have been blessed with a better dog. Whatever the mix we wouldn’t change our decision or puppy for the world. Do not hesitate to purchase a puppy from Tricia she is clearly doing something right. Thank you so much for our perfect little Lucy!

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!

We have had Lillie Mae for just one week. She had a puppy groom yesterday and did very, very well. Two days after we got her she had a vet visit. He said her confirmation was perfect, heart, lungs, knees, and hips healthy. She was so comfortable she fell asleep on the puppy scale. Raising a puppy is a challenge, but she is a love!!!🥰🐾

I am a loving, responsible dog owner, who is moving away from my family's house and I want an adorable companion of my own! I have owned a Goldendoodle since he was 8 weeks and learned how to care for and train him. Although I'm away I miss him so much and he is what I look forward to most when I go home. I have experience with potty training, general training, giving medications, grooming, going to the vet, and doggy playtime. My Goldendoodle also suffers from a lot of anxiety so I have learned how to give extra care to him. I am a senior in college, 21 years old, and take online classes so I will be at home all day, and I do not like to party. I would love nothing more than one of your Cavachons!
