WHAT SOME OF OUR GUARDIAN HOMES AND EXTENDED FAMILY HAVE TO SAY:
"Highwood Kennel is an exceptional breeder that truly stands out for their dedication, love, and expertise. We brought home two miniature wirehaired dachshunds from them, and they have been the most amazing, loving, and well-adjusted additions to our family that we will always be grateful for. It’s evident from the moment you meet the breeders and see their dogs that they are passionate about what they do. Their dogs are top quality, with wonderful temperaments and excellent health—a true testament to the care and attention they receive."

"I’ve been involved with show dogs for over 30 years. Always loved the Wire Coated Dachshund. Timing was right to start looking and I couldn’t be happier with my puppy. A beautiful chocolate dapple. His temperment is amazing and outgoing. A testimony to the time spent raising him in his first weeks. Len has been there with information on all things Daxie, from grooming questions to nutrition to general breed information. I feel like this will be how it goes for his lifetime. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this kennel."
Chesley's Mom Kim Cowie, Facebook Review (Wirehaired Dachshund)

They are very intelligent and loving pups, Highwood Kennels are very diligent in selecting homes for their pups. Also their follow up and support is exceptional. We were impressed with the care and love given to the puppies."

"We recently got a standard dachshund from Highwood Kennel and we are absolutely in love. He has been an amazing addition to our family. His good breeding and the love and care that have gone into his early development are more than evident.
The whole experience has been overwhelmingly positive with Len and everyone involved providing a wealth of information in addition to being open to questions and quick to respond. The offered lifelong support is not only greatly appreciated but a testament to their dedication and the care they have for the dogs they breed.
We highly recommend Highwood Kennel to anyone interested in getting a dachshund!"

"We adopted Watson (formally known as Clyde) from highwood kennel, and we could not be happier with him! Len and Maude were both helpful and very easy to communicate with. They made getting Watson from Calgary to us a smooth ride. We would definitely recommend!."

"I'm grateful for the incredible team at Highwood Kennel. Bringing Ember (Highwood's Dragon Fire) home on June 1, 2026 was a dream come true. The team's dedication to ensuring a smooth transition has been outstanding. From the moment I picked Ember up, they've been there to offer advice and support. Their follow-up care has been exceptional, checking in on Ember's progress and providing helpful tips.
The group chat for Brando and Amore's litter has been a wonderful resource, allowing us to connect with other owners and see how all the pups are doing.
With extensive experience in raising puppies. I can honestly say that Ember's transition has been the easiest. It was extremely surprising to be about put Ember in her kennel for the night and her go right to sleep. Once again thank you so much Highwood Kennel."
