L. Meredith Averitt, DVM

Picture
​Born and raised in the Washington, D.C. area, Meredith moved with her mother to Knoxville, Tennessee, during her senior year of high school. Already involved with horses, she became a confirmed country girl. She went on to college and veterinary school at the University of Tennessee, graduating in 1981.

In 1988, after practicing in Tennessee and later in Northern Virginia, she bought a small veterinary practice in Williamsburg, Virginia. In time, she found her way into breeding and showing Longhaired Dachshunds.
