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!!!

Tricia:
Our beautiful cockapoo that we got as a puppy through Denning Farms turned 16 today! She has been such a loving, healthy, energetic family dog to us and we love her to pieces. Lola is still full of life and taking her walks with us and lot of snuggles. We had a big birthday party for her with all her friends. A little hard of hearing and lost some teeth, but other than that, doing amazing.

Many thanks for the best dog ever!

We named our Teddybear puppy Remy. We were so excited to meet her so it felt like an eternity waiting to pick her up at the airport on January 7th. Initially I was worried about her long travel day to us but she arrived so happy and healthy. Remy is gentle, playful, incredibly smart and a total cuddle bug. Potty training has been pretty easy as it seems that she came to us already knowing that she must handle her business outside. She immediately slept in her crate only waking once during the night to potty for the first week. Since then she has been sleeping through the night without any issues. I mean is this even normal for a puppy!? I honestly feel that Remy's temperament is a testament to the wonderful job that Trisha and her family do raising these puppies until finding them their forever home. I will be honest and say that I had some reservations about purchasing a puppy from out of state and from a picture but this turned out to be the best decision ever! We absolutely adore Remy! When it is time to get our Remy girl a sibling we will definitely be coming back to Denning Farms! THANK YOU TRISHA!!

Otis just turned one and has been an absolute joy! He quickly potty trained and rings a bell to go outside. He loves to snuggle and only barks when someone is at the door. He adores our older dog and has brought more life back into her. He’s a great dog!
Tricia was wonderful with the whole process. I really liked that I spoke to her, in person. She always took the time to answer all my questions and made the whole process smooth. I could tell that Otis received a lot of love and attention before he came to our home. ❤️

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!

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!
