My 12 year old cockapoo had just died and I wasn’t sure if I was even ready to think about having another dog. Breeders in my state weren’t even having liters of cockapoos. It was by luck that I had found Denning farms and they had a liter born 3 days after my sweet pup had died. Trisha was so kind through the whole process, giving updates with pictures and videos. I was skeptical about buying a dog two states away but Trisha made me feel so comfortable.

Dobbi has been such a joy, he has such a fun personality. Not only is he beautiful, he’s sweet and spunky and just the smartest little guy. I couldn’t be more happy to have him.

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! ❤️

We got Lexie, a Teddy Bear, from Denning Farms in 2016 to keep our senior Maltese, Izzy, company during the day while we worked. They became besties! We were so happy with our Lexie that when we lost Izzy in 2021, we immediately thought of Trish at Denning Farms to help us and Lexie fill the hole in our hearts. We went online and fell in love with Teddy Bear Female#4! She's the one with the heart-melting expression and the brown patches in her coat. We emailed Trish, then watched and waited until the magical 8-week date came and then we picked her up at Jax Int'l Airport in October 2021. The little furball in that crate stole what was left of our hearts!
We named her Zoey and she keeps Lexie running! Now Lexie is the big sister and her little sister Zoey is her bestie! We recommend Denning Farms to everyone we know who is looking for a great doggie from a very professional breeder. You can tell these puppies are raised with love from birth and for the time they are at the farm--to me, that is very important! Thank you Denning Farms for our little loveys!

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.

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.
