What Our Families Say

" I cannot recommend Woodlandax highly enough.! Avril has been helpful and supportive from our first contact before our pups were even born. 

We have had regular updates and photos of our pups progress and were able to bond with our babies before we even picked them up! 

Avril goes above and beyond with the care of the litter, introducing them to outside stimuli, interaction with the other other dogs and visitors and generally getting them ready for the big wide world. 

We collected our little ones yesterday, they are pretty chilled out, eating, sleeping and playing happily together, 

I don't have enough 

stars to give!"

"Absolutely amazing through whole journey, daily contact, amazing knowledge and life time support. 

Avril is so passionate about all her fur babies and goes above and beyond. Was so good with my little girl also. 

I honestly am so glad we found the perfect breeder and dog match for our family. 

Highly recommend and wouldn't consider getting a second from any where else."

”THANK YOU

That was a magical visit, we knew everything was going to be lovely but it makes it more real.

It means a lot to us knowing we are going to have new life to join us after losing Norman.

Kit has had just the best possible start and we promise to do everything we can to make sure that continues. xx"

"Simply the Best! Care, standards and attention to every single aspect second to none."

"What can I say...other than we can't recommend Avril highly enough!

She goes above and beyond with her puppies and I can honestly say we have never known another breeder like her.

Her care and consideration for both pups and their new families is amazing. Avril has given our little Mr Mouse the best start in life he could have had.

We are already looking forward to hopefully welcoming a 'fur brother' for Mouse in the not too distant future!!"

"What can I say about Avril...she is the most wonderful breeder.

Her dogs mean the world to her and we are now part of the Woodlandax family. The journey from start to finish from showing interest in a pup to getting our Badger has been the most enjoyable experience.

Avril has been so informative and supportive, answering questions, giving advice and providing daily updates of our puppy. The amount of work she puts into developing the pups is nothing short of amazing.

The pups arrive home confident, well adjusted and ready to fit in with your family."

"The most caring, conscientious and devoted breeder. 

We can’t recommend Avril enough. As a vet and currently dachshund owner, when we found Avril, we knew we had found our next dog. 

Avril is genuinely wanting to ensure that the next generation of dachshund’s are as healthy and happy as possible, something that is not always the first thought of some. 

From the moment we made contact, Avril kept us informed and updated and is the most lovely of ladies. Her dogs are beautiful, amazingly well cared for and nothing is too much for them-we knew this was a breeder we wanted to support and in return we got our beautiful long haired boy. 

He has been amazing from the start, and we had many a comment on how well he handles situations, which I know is down to all the hard work and early neonatal programme that Avril invests in. 

We love that Avril cares so much that she loves to hear how our boy is doing. Thank you so much for our wonderful Woodlandax boy!"

"A big thankyou to Avril Woodlandax Dachshunds for my Ronnie Hickory such a special little puppy who is so loved already by all the family.  

I still cannot believe everything you have done with him over the weeks, to give him the best experiences in his early weeks. I have got such a happy, healthy and contented little baby, who from day one has settled into his new home, turned us into his slaves and claimed the settee as his own.  

Without all the love and attention you gave him this wouldn’t have happened so quickly . I cannot recommend Woodlandax Dachshunds anymore highly to anyone that is looking for an excellent breeder that cares!"

"A huge thank you to Avril (and Blossom) at Woodlandax Dachshunds  for choosing us to be Barnaby Bracken's forever home. 

You have done such an amazing job with the pups to give them the absolute best start in life. 

Our little adventurer has settled into our home so wonderfully and he is such a loving, happy and confident pup (who also loves a good snooze). We can't wait to watch him grow.

You made us part of the family and allowed us to go on the journey with them from day 1 - daily updates and check-ins were so informative and really helped us know our pup before we got him. We cannot thank you enough. 

I highly recommend Woodlandax Dachshunds to anyone that is looking for an excellent breeder. 

Avril and team truly are exceptional!!

"Avril is by far the most caring devoted breeder I’ve met.

Pumpkin Spyder is a fantastic character, he has just travelled amazing well too.

If your looking for a truly all round Dachshund Avril is your breeder."
