Q. & A. with Caylee
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to put our passion for Australian Shepherds and Aussiedoodles to good use. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is our way to give back to the breed and the families who love them. We want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine.
What makes your program special?
We are very selective about our breeding dogs. All of our dogs are fully healthy and genetically tested. The health and temperament of our puppies is our number one priority. We are very conscious about who purchases our puppies, always ensuring that they are given the best life possible.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Aussiedoodle puppies include mini and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Aussiedoodle puppies include blue merle, red merle, black phantom, black tri-color, red phantom, and red tri-color. Australian Shepherd puppies include 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.

Homestead Aussies & Doodles reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Aussiedoodles.
Full Embark Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
