I'm HAILEY H., the breeder behind Whimsical Aussies located in Waddell, AZ. Our program is focused on raising confident and healthy puppies. We accomplishe this by implementing puppy culture training, along with handling from a young age. We want to ensure our puppies have the tools to be the most confident dogs that they can be.
We have health testing on both mom and dad before breeding to ensure the best genetic outcome. Along with that the puppies are examined by a certified veterinarian who will then give them a health check and their first vaccination before going into their new homes.
Our goal is to raise happy and healthy puppies that will bring as much joy in their new homes as they do to us. It is a privilege to raise these dogs and to supply their new homes and families with the same love as we experience raising them.
Q. & A. with HAILEY
Why did you start breeding?
My background has always been in agriculture and breeding animals. I have been competitive in numerous animals shows for both conformation and showmanship. My showing experiences lead me to meeting my mentor and thus began my love for raising my dogs.
What makes your program special?
Our program is unique in it's dedication to our dogs. Our mother in our program is trained and certified with a Trick Title and a CGC. She is also being trained as a Stock Dog and for rally competitions. The puppies' father has numerous titles including CGC and herding titles.
We train and work our dogs. Australian Shepherds are notoriouse for being energetic and clever dogs. With that being said, our parents are exceptionally intelligent and their puppies are full of the same potential.
We work with the puppies from a very young age desensitizing and handling.
Before the puppies go home they are familiar with having a re-call , manding, potty training, and have been introduced to walking on a leash, all before going to their new home.
It is crucial that our puppies will be placed in a home that can provide them with the best lifestyle. To ensure this, we ask our potential owners to answer a questionnaire before moving forward with the deposit fee and eventually purchase of the puppy.
One of our stipulations is that we ask our potential owners to have an ample yardage for the puppy to be able to exercise and play as they mature. It is one of the biggest factors we look at when selecting our potential homes.
Thank you

These little cuties love playing in their pen! They got surprised with a few new toys, including a small herding ball!
They were very excited to play with it but they might need a few more pointers from their parents before they are ready to fully chase after it.
In the mean time they are happy with just nosing it around!😂
They are absolutely precious!

We had such a great experience with Hailey. Before bringing our puppy home, she had already put so much care and intention into her early training—Our sweet pup was well-socialized, knew simple commands, and was already nearly fully potty-trained.
Since coming home, she has been incredibly easy to train, affectionate, confident, and settled right in with our family. It’s clear that Hailey gives her puppies the best possible start. We’re so grateful for her dedication and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a well-raised, loving companion.

Hailey is amazing to work with! Our new buddy was already well socialized under Hailey’s care and has been a breeze to train. Best of all she provided everything I needed to successfully transition our Aussie to his new home including parent information, vaccine info, and health markers. You can feel the love and care given to our pup from day one. If you’re looking for an australian shepherd or your next canine companion I highly recommend Hailey and Whimsical Aussies!
