Amazing breeder!!

Could not recommend Hayley at Emeraldax highly enough! You can see she really cares about what she does, and about every single puppy in her care. Puppies are well looked after and you can tell this right from the very start. We received constant video and photo updates, really showing you his personality! So many people have commented on how our boy must of came from a top breeder, due to his nature and how well he gets on being handled and socialised. Hayley is just a message away at all times and never a bother to ask any questions to. We also received an amazing puppy pack, full of everything we would need from toys to licky mats, shampoo and a supply of food, as well as a great guide on how to care for the puppy.

We had to travel eight hours there and back for our pup and would do it again in a heartbeat to get the most perfect healthy boy from an outstanding breeder!

Our perfect Joanie

I feel so lucky to have found Hayley and to be chosen to be an Emeraldax Pawrent. Our little girl Joanie is an absolute dream. You can just tell she is the best of the breed. Perfect health, coat, nature and incredibly intelligent. Hayley also is an exceptional person, does so much good for the breed and makes you feel part of it all from the minute the pup is born to pick up and beyond. I cannot sing her praises enough. You will not regret having an Emeraldax, Joanie is my third Dachshund and I wouldn’t choose any other breeder now. Thank you Hayley. ❤️

Hands down the best breeder

Having bought my original dachshund from Emeraldax / Hayley over 8 years ago, I knew I would defiantly be returning when the time was right to get him a friend.
I can honestly say now having two Emeraldax dachshunds how beautifully natured and well bred they really are. Hayley keeps you regularly updated with videos and photos as they are growing up, they are well handled and used to getting their ears, teeth etc checked and even come with their own puppy box, which is so well equipped with everything you may need.
My two are now becoming the bestest of friends and Hayley has remained in contact to ensure all is going well, highlighting how much she does care.
I even have a young baby and it’s been a breeze with a new pup coming into the pack, she’s got the most wonderful temperament and has really slotted in and touch wood easy to train, which I think just highlights how well they are cared for before coming to their new home. If I could I’d have even more join our family but as and when I can I’ll certainly return to Emeraldax and I’d have no problem recommending them to anyone I meet. Thank you Hayley for now bringing two bundles of joy into our lives 💕💕

I have been in touch with Hayley for…

I have been in touch with Hayley for several years and when the time was right, we knew we had to go with her for our beautiful new family member. Winston is a standard shaded red and Hayley took the time to match him and our lifestyle with wonderful Willow. We knew Willow was the one from one week old and Hayley kept us fully up to date every week with her progress. When it came time to bring Willow home, Hayley even dropped her off and helped us with the introductions! One month later and we couldn’t imagine life without Willow and Winston. Thank you so much Hayley!

Hayley makes you feel like part of the family

Hayley makes you feel like part of the family from first contact. We met our pup and then had regular photos and updates. What a well adjusted little boy, so friendly and calm that he slept through a walk with 2000 other Dachshunds. You can tell that each puppy born to Emeraldax receives lots of love and care. How long do I have to wait to get the next one?

Amazing breeder

Right from the outset I received so much information and was kept updated regularly with photos and progress reports.
I have several other dogs and have to say my Emeraldax puppy from Hayley is the most resilient, happy, and well rounded puppy I’ve had.

She has clearly had amazing attention as a baby because she’s happy to have her feet messed about with, her ears and stands very well for the vet for health checks.

I can not recommend Hayley as a breeder enough, she is amazing and so are her puppies and I will now not buy from anyone else.

I could not be happier with my puppy, Toby

I could not be happier with my beautiful, cheeky Emeraldax puppy, Toby!

Hayley is a truly amazing breeder. I'm no stranger to sausage dogs and currently have two smooth-haired girls but I am so delighted with how well-adjusted, confident and cuddly my new little boy is. Throughout the process of applying to adopt him to picking him up from Hayley, the communication was first class and I felt in good hands. He came with the most extensive puppy pack I have ever seen - you will need room in your boot!

Toby has fitted into the household straight away, is affectionate as well as demonstrating the independent dachshund streak from day one - a sure sign of a loved and cherished puppy. If I didn't have to work, I'd be asking Hayley about taking out a crazy dog lady subscription. I cannot recommend Emeraldax highly enough.

Emeraldax is the best.

Hayley is absolutely fantastic. Her puppies are not only gorgeous but incredibly natured. One thing that has been so obvious to us (as now we are proud owners to 2 Emeraldax puppies) is that Hayley is fab with husbandry. The puppies are so relaxed getting their claws clipped, teeth checked and ears checked. We loved our first puppy so much that a year later here we were getting another! I just cannot recommend Emeraldax enough. Hayley truly loves her dogs and it shows. And the puppy box she gives away with her puppies blows our mind everytime. Truly such a sweet thing to do on top of everything else she already does! If you're thinking of getting a Dachshund.. do not go anywhere else. You've found the best breeder, hands down. And it'll be the best thing you have ever done!

Warning…Emeraldax could become addictive ❤️

After waiting many years and doing lots of research, I decided it was finally time to welcome a little sausage shaped puppy into my life. If I knew then what I know now, I would have done it years ago! I have the most delightful puppy who is an absolute joy, she makes my heart sing with joy every day. I have followed Emeraldax on social media for years and I could witness the care, consideration and love that goes into each puppy. Hayley was a delight to deal with, I got to meet my pup and both her parents before we collected her and she has knocked me sideways. She’s grounded, loves to learn, loves meeting new people (who all tell her how beautiful she is) and simply wants to have fun. Since Daphne has joined us, I’ve realised just how much time Hayley puts into her pups and their early days and how lucky we are to have a puppy that has been bred and reared correctly. Hayley’s knowledge and passion for the breed is second to none and it is such a comfort to know that Hayley’s love and interest in her puppy continues even when they’ve ’left home’. I know that if I ever need any advice or support, Hayley will be there for me and my pup.

Supportive and knowledgeable



My husband and I have wanted a puppy for a while now but was never sure where to look when it came to breeders.

After doing our research we came across Hayley and we are so glad we did! She was very knowledgeable and supportive during the whole process, she allowed us to come and meet pup several times before we brought him home and provided an amazing puppy pack to take home with us. This was very helpful, especially as first time puppy owners.

Thanks to Hayley, we now have a loving little longhaired miniature dachshund who we can’t imagine life without!

We would highly recommend Hayley and if we decide to get a second puppy, we know where to go.

Thank you Hayley!

We are so incredibly grateful to Hayley for our wonderful puppy, Pixie! From the moment we first spoke with her, it was clear how much she cares about her dogs and their future families. She was always happy to answer our (many!) questions and kept us updated with photos and videos as we waited to bring Pixie home.

Now that Pixie is with us, we couldn’t be happier! She is not only absolutely adorable but also full of personality— she makes us laugh every day with her funny little quirks. It’s clear she was raised in a loving and caring environment, as she is so well-socialised and confident.

Hayley’s dedication and passion for her dogs truly shine through, and we feel so lucky to have found her. If you’re looking for a responsible, knowledgeable, and supportive breeder, we can’t recommend Hayley enough!

I can't recommend Emeraldax and Hayley…

I can't recommend Emeraldax and Hayley highly enough! We recently picked up our (now 12 weeks old) boy and she was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process! always available to answer questions and share her extensive knowledge. Her warmth and accommodating nature made everything feel effortless. All of her pups have wonderful temperaments, and we couldn’t be happier with our little Linguini !! 10/10 breeder!

Hayley was so wonderful and helpful

Hayley was so wonderful and helpful. We are over the moon with our pup and the whole experience was handled so well; Hayley kept in contact with us weekly on the progress of our pup and gave us all the information we needed. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

Couldn’t recommend Hayley enough

Couldn’t recommend Hayley enough. She has not only an immense knowledge of the breed but she is so kind & patient & it is so evident her love for all of her pups! She made sure we were ready & gave us a puppy pack including a training book, toys & treats. She’s the best!

If you’re looking for a breeder, you’ve found the one!

Hayley was amazing from start to finish, even now, she doesn’t complain when I’m constantly messaging asking questions 😂 We couldn’t be happier with our pup, Vinnie. He’s the best addition to our home and we couldn’t imagine life without him now 🐶
From photos, and FaceTimes before we picked Vinnie up, Hayley was fantastic. She checked we had a home perfect for our pup, and ensured we had everything we needed for taking him home. Even once we got him home, she was still on hand to help. Hayley’s everything you’re looking for when it comes to buying your new furry family member.

If you’re looking for a breeder, you’ve found the one!

Found the perfect pup from the perfect breeder

I was let down by another breeder and contacted Hayley when I saw she had a puppy available due to timewasters. She was thorough in linking in with me beforehand to check I was the right home for her and kept in touch till we collected her with texts and photos. Our pup is healthy happy and well adjusted and we are all in love with our little girl. Travelling 8 hours in a car to get to Emeraldax was worth every minute. Can’t rate Hayley enough.

Exceptional - 5 stars isn't enough!

I've had my puppy since collecting him in October. I have followed Hayley for so many years, and when the time was finally right I joined her waiting list, waiting for the 'meant to be' litter to have the boy I've always dreamed of. Throughout the whole process Hayley has been nothing but exceptional, always at the end of the phone, responsive to messages, really helpful and kind with my endless questions and advice, and allowed multiple visits ahead of collection day. Everything you need is in the gorgeous puppy pack provided on collection day too.

You can truely see the love, care and incredibly high standards Hayley keeps, and it shows in the amazing puppy I have today, and all her dogs. I'm so pleased I waited so long to have an Emeraldax Dachshund, I couldn't recommend high enough, knowing that you will have incredibe quaity, the safest ans highest level of breeding and who makes you feel part of the whole journey, from scan to birth and beyond - I can't thank you enough Hayley for my little boy, I will be forever greatful to you. 💙

Excellent Breeder

Myself and my partner have been following Emeraldax Dachshunds for a while now and always knew that when the time right for us that we would want one of Hayleys babies.
In September we were lucky enough that there was a bwasaby that seemed just perfect for us and we brought Hendrix home in October.
From the moment you meet Hayley you can see her passion for the breed. Her dogs are bred to the highest standards with excellent temperaments and she will not let her babies go if she doesn't feel the fit is right which shows the quality of breeder she is. She provides everything your puppy needs to have a great start and is on hand for anything you need an answer to. We were unable to take Hendrix home at 8 weeks due to being out to the country, Hayley had no issue holding onto him for an extra 4 weeks for us and even arranged his second vaccination while we were away.
I cannot thank Hayley enough for our handsome boy Hendrix. We will be back went the time is right for us to add another to our pack. If you are looking for a miniature dachshund, look no further than Emeraldax Dachshunds.

A great experience

I have had my Miniature Dachshund from Emeraldax Dachshunds for just over a month now and wanted to make time to say how great Hayley has been throughout the whole process of choosing a puppy, learning what’s involved and being there when we have questions or worries, her care in breeding and ongoing interest in how her puppies are doing with their new slaves and knowledge of the breed is second to none.
