MEET THE BREEDERÂ
Hello, my name is Brooke Ryan, and I am the breeder and owner behind Rafter Cross 7 Corgis. I am a passionate and experienced breeder with a lifelong love for animals. From a young age, I began breeding miniature horses, Quarter horses, various breeds of dogs, and even Pygmy goats. My journey began at nine years old, breeding registered Beagles, Queensland Heelers, raising Queensland until I was 22. At one point, I had twenty miniature horses bucking and playing around me. The first time I laid eyes on a corgi, I fell in love, and I have been a dedicated and passionate individual with breeding AKC Registered Pembroke Welsh Corgis for the past seven years. Our corgis have seamlessly integrated into our lifestyle, bringing immense happiness and fulfillment. I have dedicated my life and skills to perfecting the art of breeding these beautiful animals.
Rafter Cross 7 is not just a brand but a representation of our commitment to excellence in our dogs, cattle, and horse breeding programs. Beyond my professional pursuits, I am a devoted wife and proud mother of four beautiful children. Our love for the Lord and our shared passion for animals have shaped our lives in ways that are truly fulfilling. We are fortunate to call a working cattle ranch in Caliente, California, our home, where we can raise our children in a unique and captivating environment. Our commitment to homeschooling our children is one aspect that sets our family apart. Homeschooling allows us to cultivate a deep appreciation for knowledge and instill a strong work ethic from an early age. I am proud that my kids share my love for animals and actively participate in our breeding endeavors.

Breeding corgis has been a remarkable journey for our family. In 2022, we took our passion for corgis to new heights by entering the world of AKC dog shows, showcasing the excellence and superiority of our breeding program. We work with a professional handler who represents us in the ring to ensure that our dogs receive the utmost care and attention. However, I am thrilled to step into the ring and showcase our dogs' incredible attributes whenever possible. One of the most rewarding aspects of our breeding endeavor is seeing my oldest son's enthusiasm for showing our dogs in the junior classes. He has developed a deep passion for this art form and revels in the opportunity to display the beauty and grace of our corgis. As a licensed breeder and AKC-inspected professional, we take immense pride in maintaining the highest standards of excellence. Our corgis are a true testament to this commitment, as they embody the ideal characteristics of the breed, both in terms of conformational correctness and overall health.
Through my unwavering dedication, I have honed my skills as a breeder and nurturer, ensuring that each corgi we produce embodies the highest health standards, temperament, and conformation. As the breeder and owner of Rafter Cross 7 Corgis, I take immense pride in providing families with loving, loyal, and well-rounded companions who will enrich their lives for years. With a proven track record of success and an unwavering commitment to excellence, I strive to produce well-bred and well-tempered puppies and make it my mission to be the breeder who can offer both. Through careful selection and meticulous breeding practices, I hand-select each parent to embody the highest standards of quality and temperament. Each step of the breeding process is meticulously planned and executed, ensuring that every puppy truly represents the breed's finest traits.

When you buy a puppy from us, you join our Rafter Cross 7 family. We are committed to being there for you every step of the way, offering guidance and support even after you take your fur baby home. Your satisfaction and the happiness of our puppies are at the forefront of everything we do.

CORGIS BRING SO MUCH JOY
 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
