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 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!

Ruby Cavalier whelped on 5/16/19. I selected her for her head size and long snout (pick of litter) and she is a superior specimen. 26 lbs,lean and a wonderful disposition. Denning farms treated us well and their Cavalier genetics are top notch.

Traci, I purchased Flash on 11/21/23. I was desperate for a puppy to replace the 2 I lost in 2 months time. Flash's name was changed to Dalton. He is so sweet and loving. He is definitely my puppy. He is shy about getting close to other people in the family. He is gradually warming up to my husband. Given time he will be a wonderful addition to our household. Dalton has stolen my heart.
He has seen the Veterinarian and received a clean bill of health. I have already set a date to have him neutered in February.
Thank you.

I picked up Lily on Mother’s Day weekend in 2012. I was looking for a puppy since we had recently lost ours and was not sure if it was the right choice. I was searching late one night on the website and found the teddybear puppies and instantly fell in love with her little face and pink bow. I called Tricia the next day and that was how it all began. I loved the fact that the family posted pictures and videos of the puppies so you could watch them play and grow and see them interacting with her children before they came to their new home. I was a little nervous of purchasing a dog online. However, it was the best experience I ever had and when I pulled into their driveway I was confident that I made a great decision. Tricia is very knowledgeable and gives you a lot of information to prepare for the new addition. Lily has been a perfect fit to our family. She loves people, was easy to train, loves car rides and even at her age is still very playful. She has also been a great dog to be with my aging parents. They absolutely have also become attached to her. I would not hesitate to purchase my next puppy from them.

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. 😉

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.
