Meet the breeder

I'm Rachel M., the breeder behind Lakeway Farms located in Morristown, TN. Lakeway Farms focuses on breeding a true companion dog. Our dogs are family dogs that are socialized around children, small animals, and farm life. Each puppy is exposed to a variety of family and social situations making them well rounded and ready to meet the world.

Q. & A. with Rachel

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We fell in love with Weimaraners through my soul dog, Willow. She showed us love like no other dog had shown us before. We wanted others to experience this as well. After learning the ins and outs of breeding large dogs, we moved on to dachshunds and fell just as in love with Penny and Gizmo. Then once we moved onto a farm we discovered the Australian Shepherd and fell in love with Gus and Madi.

  • What makes your program special?

    We love our dogs like family. We only have one active breeding pair at a time and our retired dogs still live with us. They live the best lives they can on our farm and are with us until thier last day.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Dachshund puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Dachshund puppies have longhaired coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Australian Shepherd puppies include black & white, red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Dachshund puppies include black and tan, black and cream, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    We adopted our beautiful baby girl from Rachel, it was the smoothest & easiest process through GoodDog. I’m so grateful we found this app, to be able to fully trust all the breeders was a huge relief. Rachel gave us the best experience we could’ve asked for. She gave us regular updates and was quick to reply to all my questions. She truly cares for all her puppies and their parents. You can see the love and passion she has. Thanks so much Rachel for helping us add to our family 🫶🏼🩷

    Rachel was awesome! She was very helpful as my boyfriend and I are first time pet owners and needed lots of information on Australian shepherds. She was quick to respond and sent us lots of pictures of Della before we picked her up. Would absolutely recommend others reaching out to Rachel for aussies, Della is the sweetest and is already loving life!

    We recently had the pleasure of working with Rachel, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From start to finish, her communication was exceptional. Rachel promptly answered all of our questions and kept us well-informed throughout the entire process. One of the highlights was receiving regular pictures and updates about our little dapple dachshund as they grew. It was so heartwarming to see our puppy’s progress and know they were being cared for with love and attention. The pickup process was seamless and very convenient. Rachel went above and beyond to make sure everything was prepared, and they provided us with all the necessary information and support to help our new family member transition smoothly into our home. Most importantly, our puppy is absolutely beautiful, healthy, and full of personality! It’s clear that Rachel takes great pride in her work and genuinely cares about the well-being of their dogs and the amazing socialization done at Lakeway Farms. We wholeheartedly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a dapple dachshund. They provided us with not just a pet but a beloved addition to our family! Thank you for everything!

    We got our boy yesterday. My daughter met Rachel to get him. My husband and I are in Florida for the winter, but my daughter will be flying down for Christmas so it won’t be too long before we have him. I want to thank Rachel for promptly answering my questions via text. She sent us pictures of him as he grew to keep us informed. I can highly recommend her as a breeder. Our boy was everything that we wanted, healthy, beautiful, playful. Thank you Rachel! I also appreciate Bryan taking time out of his day to meet us with him a few weeks ago so we could see him while we were in Tennessee. 😄👌
