Meet the Olsens
Hi! We’re Ashley and Cody Olsen, the faces behind Wilder Ranch Co. Our story began in the Arizona desert where we were both born and raised and eventually started our family. For nearly a decade, Cody’s career as a journeyman lineman took our family across the country, living and traveling in our toy hauler and making some pretty incredible memories along the way. After nine years on the road, we decided it was time to slow down and plant some roots in the rolling hills of Northern California while we figured out where life would take us next. Today, we live on 20 acres with our four kids, our dogs and our little crew of farm animals. Life around here is busy, a little dusty and usually chaotic but we wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom which allows me to be completely hands-on with every litter we raise. Our puppies are born and raised right in the heart of our home, surrounded by kids, animals, everyday noises and plenty of love. It gives them an incredible foundation for becoming confident, well-socialized family companions. We have a special love for Pembroke Welsh Corgis and longhaired Miniature Dachshunds and are passionate about raising healthy, happy puppies with wonderful temperaments. Our dogs are family first and every litter is raised with intention, care and a whole lot of love. And now, another adventure is calling! In the spring of 2027, our family and all of our dogs will be packing up and relocating to the Midwest, where we’re excited to put down new roots and begin the next chapter of Wilder Ranch Co. While our location may be changing, the way we care for our puppies and support our families never will. And don’t worry, we have a built-in flight nanny who makes getting our puppies safely to their families across the country a breeze! No matter how many miles separate us, we love staying connected, answering questions and watching our puppies grow long after go-home day.
When you choose a Wilder Ranch puppy, you’re not just bringing home a new family member, you’re becoming part of our extended Wilder Ranch family, too. Thank you for being here. We’re so glad you found us and we can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes us! 🐾
Where Puppies and Childhood Meet
Our four kids ages 10, 8, 7 and 4 play an incredibly special role in raising our puppies. They’re involved from day one, helping with gentle handling, early socialization, playtime and giving each puppy the kind of love and attention only children can provide. From carrying puppies around the house to reading books beside them to letting them nap in their laps, our kids naturally teach the puppies confidence, patience and trust. Because of them, our puppies grow up used to little voices, busy hands, laughter, movement and real family life making them wonderfully prepared to join homes with children of their own. Our kids truly help shape these puppies into the well socialized, affectionate companions they become.
