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?

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

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

    Our 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 Dachshund puppies include black and tan, black and cream, and dapple. Australian Shepherd puppies include black & white, red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. 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.

    It was an incredible experience working with Rachel, she is so responsive and was very willing to help us with getting our puppy as we live further away. We are so happy we found her as a breeder as she has given us our new best friend. Our puppy has the most amazing personality and temperament. Would absolutely recommend Rachel as a breeder and would love to get another puppy from her in the future.

    We happened to stumble across Good Dog as we were considering getting a puppy, and I am so grateful that we did. Rachel was very responsive and easy-going, answering all of our questions and made the process so smooth. We loved all the puppy updates in the coming days as well. As first time puppy parents, we would be lying if we said we weren’t worried about temperament as we had not met the puppy we picked out, and we had only hoped that we had made the right choice. And I can attest to the fact that this was the absolute best choice we have ever made. Koda has quickly turned into one of our favorite little guys. We are constantly in awe of how calm and loving he is, with everyone we meet. He’s quick to snuggle up on your shoulder to give the best puppy hugs and easily makes us laugh on the daily. His personality is a direct testament of the love and care he received from Rachel and her family. We are so happy we took a chance on Koda, and we hope if you’re reading this, you take this as a sign to do so as well, even if you are a little hesitant. Because I promise you’re in good hands if you trust Rachel in giving you the perfect puppy for your family💛

    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 🫶🏼🩷

    It was so easy to work with Rachel and family. My granddaughter and I were looking for a tri male. I found her litter online and we fell in love with the blue eyed boy. Rachel responds quickly to your questions and shares her knowledge on her kids and the breed. I would highly recommend getting the puppy of your dreams with her. He is so smart and listens well.

    Rachel was great to work with. She was very responsive to questions and sent pictures and videos over the weeks until I could pick up the puppy. She also worked with me on a good meetup spot that was convenient for us both.

    Rachel was great to work with. She answered all questions and inquiries in a timely manner. Although we researched the breed I truly appreciated her personal experience. Loved the fact that she sent weekly pics! The whole process went seamlessly!
