Our Aussiedoodle puppies are standard size. Poodle puppies are standard size. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Joyce from Cape Cod Aussies was not only extremely professional and knowledgeable, but she was so sweet and genuinely cared about her litter of puppies! Joyce had everything I needed including a week or more worth of puppy food and she even groomed our puppy Violet prior to us coming! I just wish I lived closer so I could continue to bring my girl to Joyce! All I can say is that it doesn’t get any better, and hopefully someday soon I’ll be looking to add another pup to the family from Cape Cod Aussies!

Joyce was so helpful throughout our process of finding our puppy Winnie. She responded quickly and gave such great advice since this was our first puppy. We are so incredibly happy with our girl Winnie. Can’t thank Joyce enough!
