About Us

We are a small home based breeder in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada breeding Australian Cobberdogs. We are not a kennel. Our dogs live with us in our home as part of our family. Our dogs are imported from Australia directly and are carefully selected for temperament and are extensively health tested and screened. 


 

Why Choose An Australian Cobberdog



​The Australian Cobberdog is a registered breed in development with the Master Dog Breeders and Associates (MDBA), a worldwide purebreed registry. Importantly, the MDBA has been entrusted with overseeing the continuing development of the Australian Cobberdog since 2012. There are now over 70 Australian Cobberdog breeders worldwide. Having the breed registered, and overseen by a governing body with thorough regulations, is a necessary step to ensure a new breed continues to develop. ​

Australian Cobberdogs have a low/non shedding fleece coat. Although fairly hypoallergenic and may not shed much, you may still react to to their kisses and dander from the protein of the dog. Their coats come in a beautiful wavy or curly fleece, in the colors of brown, cafe, blond, white, red, black, and gold. They really look like big huggable fluffy teddy bears.
​
They are known for their:
. Non aggressive attitude
. High intelligence and an aptitude for learning which makes training a breeze
. A need to be with their humans
. Sweet and gentle nature
. Goofiness
. Amazing eye contact and temperament
. Rare intuition that allows them to "know what your feeling"
. Health and conformation

Their easy trainability makes them ideal for people looking for the ultimate service dog, therapy dog or medical alert dog to people who suffer from dog-related allergies. We cannot promise that you will not have an allergy to them as some people are allergic to the protein in the dogs saliva Australian Cobberdogs have a high level of intuition and ability to "read" their humans making them perfect for homes with children with developmental disabilities or emotional health challenges. They seek eye contact and look deeply into your eyes rather then "at" you. They are the ultimate family companion. They are affectionate, full of personality, gentle and love kids. They enjoy spending time with you and being part of the family.  Usually as puppies, Cobberdogs have a lot of energy and are constantly looking for something to do since they are so smart, we recommend lots of socialization and obedience training at an early age. After about 18 months they calm down into the wonderful pet we all want. Being a low/non shedding dog brings extra cost with grooming approximately every 6-8 weeks and ear care as they have floppy ears.
​
​They come in different sizes such as mini, medium and standard size. We are currently breeding mini/medium size.

The Miniature: 13 – under 17 inches. Weight: 6kg-10kg
The Medium: 17 inches and under 20 inches 12 kg to 20 kg
The Standard: over 20 inches to under 23 inches 20kg to 35kg
