Our sweet Gizmo turned 10 last month. He is the healthiest sweetest boy and the most handsome. Easy to say your new puppy is great but our 10 year old is still as cute & healthy as a puppy. Will definitely look to Denning Farms again in the future.

I had my wonderful Otis for almost 15 years. He passed just recently. Denning farms gave me the most beautiful and wonderful dog ever. I look forward to the day when my heart can get another cockapoo from this breeder and ONLY this breeder.

We are a married couple of 54 years and both of us retired from The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Mike worked in the Information Systems computer area for the hospital for 39 years. Phyllis was a Social Worker at the hospital and the community for 38 years. We have had Cavalier and Cocker fury kids all of our married lives. Our 12 yr. old Spaniel, Maddie died in May 2021. We miss her terribly. Our hearts and home want to adopt a little one to love and care for.
We have 2 adult married children and 2 adult grandchildren and 1 younger, 11 years old grandson. They love our sweet babies and care for them if we are away for a few days. So, we will be so grateful to be able to make a warm, loving home for a sweet Cavalier.

Our maltipoo, Milo, turned 1 year on July 4. He is the most wonderful pet anyone could ask for. He brings us a tremendous amount of joy every day. Milo’s temperament is that of a sweet, loving dog. We wanted a lap dog and we definitely got one. If we are sitting down, he is in our lap!!! He is very smart and trained easily.
Best. Dog. Ever

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!
