We adopted our "Winter Bear" in January of 2020. She has been such a joy for our family! We couldn't love her more! Tricia was awesome to work with in picking our puppy, we asked her for the one with a lot of personality and boy did we get that! Winnie is the sweetest, smartest little girl. We have been so happy with her, that we are adopting another from Tricia and Denning Farms.

Thanks to Tricia and family for providing us with such a precious little girl, we can't wait to meet our new one too!

We purchased our 19 week old Cockapoo (male - named Gipper) from the Denning Farms on December 11, 2021. We are a senior couple in our late seventies and live near Seattle, WA. We asked Tricia for the most laid back or easy going cockapoo out of her litter of 5 males and 2 females. She helped us pick the male B cockapoo (Gipper).

Our experience with Tricia was outstanding. She went out of her way to make sure that the puppy was sent via airplane on a non-stop direct flight to Seattle for the safety and concern for the puppy's welfare and comfort.

Gipper was an addition to our house to fill in for the loss of our beloved Cockapoo (Scooter - female) who passed away (age 15 years old) on September 13, 2021.

Gipper is the most wonderful puppy we have ever raised. He is extremely bright, easy to train and the most affectionate dog we have ever had for a family member. He has brought so much happiness and life into this household. The very first night he slept 9 hours. He has continued to sleep quietly every night for at lest 8 - 9 hours. After only 2 1/2 weeks he is almost house trained. He learns something new everyday. He is not a barker (except when he sees a dog or hears another dog). Yesterday, he learned to sleep in a dog bed during his afternoon resting times.

This is the best Christmas present to ourselves in decades. Thanks to Denny Farms and Tricia for making this possible.

I purchased a Teddybear puppy (Male # 5a) last year and he has been such a wonderful addition to our family. He is the second dog I have owned after my first Teddybear dog passed away. I highly recommend Denning Farms. I am so in love with my fur baby and he turned 1 on 03/07/2023!

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.

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! ❤️

I was totally against getting a small inside dog, and then my daughter begged for one!
In a moment of weakness I purchased this little cutie. I have completely fallen in love. This is by far the sweetest dog I have ever owned! She was a breeze to potty train, minds very well, and is a major cutler. I don’t think I will now own anything else but teddybears! We all love her! Look no further! If you have a family and want a great family dog this is the bread!
