Rafter 7 Ranch

Rafter 7 Ranch raises Doberman pinschers and Dachshunds in Vader, WA, in Lewis County near Olympia. The ranch is guided by Hanna, who follows American Kennel Club and International Dachshund Club standards and incorporates recommended health screenings for hips, heart, eyes and other breed-specific concerns.

Puppies are reared in a family setting with daily socialization, supervised play in secure yards and exposure to household sounds at their own pace. The ranch’s indoor whelping suite and outdoor exercise paddocks are cleaned daily, ensuring the dogs thrive in a hygienic and spacious environment. Each litter reflects careful selection for conformation and steady temperament suited to active families, therapy work or canine sports.

A senior Dachshund on site gently mentors new litters, supporting early social skills and confidence. Clients note the ranch’s transparency, photo updates and ongoing support that help puppies adapt smoothly to their new homes.
