Meet the breeder

I'm Caylee H., the breeder behind Homestead Aussies & Doodles located in Zwingle, IA. We offer top-quality puppies from carefully planned litters. We focus on temperament, health, obedience, structure and color. Throughout the time the puppies are with us, we ensure each one is socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever home. We love our dogs!

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.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Caylee partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“At Homestead Aussies & Doodles, we truly believe that every puppy is meant for the right family. While we take great pride in helping match each puppy with the home that best fits their personality, energy level, and lifestyle, we also understand that many families have their hearts set on a specific color or marking and that’s okay too! Our goal is to make sure every puppy is set up for success by finding a family where they’ll thrive and be loved for a lifetime. We take the time to get to know both our puppies and our families so we can make the best match possible. At the end of the day, we’re not just placing puppies. We are helping create lifelong friendships, unforgettable memories, and perfect companions.”
