Rudy was in a litter born November 2011. His original owners purchased him from you. Unfortunately Rudy couldn't tag along to college with her. We have had Rudy since July 2012. He has been amazing little guy. Such a mama's boy. He is extremely intelligent and super snuggly. Even at almost 10 years old he still plays as if he was 10 months old. He has never had any health issues. He is perfect! He is such a joy to have in our lives. I was a bit worried when my daughter was born in 2015 but Rudy took on this whole new personality. He was a like a caretaker and watchdog. He would watch her all night and alert us if she cried. I had a bad asthma attack while I was pregnant. Rudy nudged my inhaler to me. He didn't leave my side until I was ok. I may live far away but I will recommend you to anyone looking for a cockapoo. Thank you!

Our little Deeks is 2 years old today. It is hard to believe we have had him 2 years already. He is a smart, loving, sweet little dog. He is a fighter. He came down with parvo 6 days after we got him, but fortunately, God had his hand on our little pup and helped him survive. We love him more than words could ever express.

Our little guy was the light in our lives. I can't tell you what a wonderful friend, buddy, and companion he was. Smart loving and loved so immensely in return. He was a teddybear, 11 years old.

Thank you Denning farm's for bringing him into our lives if only for a little while.

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!

We have had Lainey now for four months. I can't tell you how much we love her! She is smart, playful and has the best personality! She has been very social and well adjusted since the day we picked her up. She loves all people and other dogs, no matter what the size. Lainey is well traveled, loves car rides and has flown on a plane twice! When we take her places she gets so much attention with her cuteness! She was very easy to potty train and we are now in the first stages of getting her trained to be a service dog so we can volunteer.

It is obvious that Tricia takes great care of the puppies! I would definitely recommend Denning Farms and will likely get a new puppy down the road to keep Lainey company!

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.

We purchased Sadi Lou, two years ago and couldn't be happier. She is such a joy and has the most interesting character. She is a cuddler but also a thief. Everything in the house is hers and makes it a game everyday. We have a pitbull and dachshund and Sadi is the alpha of the house even with us. I would highly recommend Denning Farms.

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!

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
