Australian Cobberdogs Sizes, Colours, Coat Types,Hypoallergenic/low shedding, Cobberdog Traits/Temperament

SIZES Currently we are breeding small medium, medium, large medium and small standard cobberdogs but over the next year we hope to venture into the miniature australian cobberdog size as well. COLOURS We have cobberdogs in many colours. Red australian cobberdogs, raven cobberdogs,gold cobberdogs, blonde cobberdogs, apricot cobberdogs, chocolate cobberdogs, cafe cobberdogs, parti factored cobberdogs, chocolate/ cafe parti cobberdogs, gold part cobberdog and even a raven phantom parti cobberdogs. We do have exciting colours filtering through but believe me temeprament is everything and you dont see colour for long, you just see the dog inside. Also every colour is so beautiful and I adore them all. I would be an easy customer I feel as for me its all about the temperament and I can fall in love with any colour. COAT TYPES We have both straight coated australian cobberdogs and wavy coated cobberdogs, these are the most desired coat types, both coats falling in gentle waves. What families need to remember about straight and wavy coats is that often they look very similar. We have genetically straight cobbers in our program that present wavier than our wavy coats. We don't produce curly coats, a curly coat has a tight spiral curl, like a poodle. The curly coats are harder to maintain and we choose not to produce these. SHEDDING, HYPOALLERGENIC/LOW SHEDDING, ALLERY FRIENDLY Typically cobberdogs are great for allergy sufferers. They can be called hyopoallergenic, however we are asked to use the term low shedding as realistically everything with hair, sheds to some degree. That being said we do not find and hair on couches, pillows or the dog beds, making them great house dogs and great dogs for families suffering allergies. COBBERDOG TRAITS/TEMPERAMENT Cobberdogs have many beautiful traits and we carefully select puppies to match families by raising beautiful confident cobbers, and temperament testing our australian cobberdogs around 7 weeks before allocating. Cobberdogs are not all the same and we can find big differences even within a litter, which is why we ask families to trust us to match them with a pup that will best suit them. Some of the well known cobber traits I will list below. Human Focussed, cobbers love to be close to their humans, this is where they are happiest. They crave our company just as much as we can crave theirs. Social, Cobberdogs are social dogs that generally love other humans and other kind gentle dogs. Training and exposure does come into play here but they have the core traits to love to socialise. Great eye contact, cobbers communicate with their eyes. They hold your gaze and can look into your soul. Gentle and kind, most cobbers are very sweet, gentle, friendly kind dogs. Smart, Cobberdogs are smart and usually love training and learn quickly. Intuition, Cobberdogs are known for their intuition, some are quite unbelievable how they just know that you are sad, have a sore tummy, or other medical issue, some cobbers just know when they need to give their affection. Some cobberdogs can be trained to do amazing things and these cobbers have wonderful intuition as their core trait Goofy/Clown, Cobberdogs are anything but boring. most cobbers have a goofy side. it is almost like their lifes endeavour is to make us laugh. I love this part of the cobberdog. Non aggressive, most cobbers are not aggressive. They have been bred to be a companion dog, not a guard dog, so if you are looking for a breed top protect your property, this is not your breed. Water dogs, most cobbers have a love of water to some degree. The odd one may not like it but I would say 90 percent have an ingrained love of water of some form. Good with children and people of all ages, Cobberdogs are the best family dogs and can have wonderful relationships with children and people of all ages. So above are what we usually see in a cobber. However, you, the family are the biggest influence and shaper of your dog. These inbuilt traits need to be guided, pups need positive socialisation and ongoing training to become wonderful dogs. Families with young children need to supervise and guide dog/child interactions in order to form beautiful respectful bonds. These are fabulous dogs that have a great core traits, we also expose them to so much so that when we hand them over you have a pup with a beautiful base on which to build. Put the work in, do the training, navigate the hurdles and challenges. You can have that wow dog, it does take work!

  • Wavy fleece coat, like the straight fleece coat the wavy coat also falls in waves, and has the same attributes as the straight fleece coat
  • Curly coat, as guessed by the name the curly coat is alot curlier than the straight or wavy coat. The curly coat is a little harder to care for in a long lenght so is normally kept shorter.

Cobberdogs have the foundations already set to make a wonderful family pet, companion or even an assistamce /therapy dog. However we do need to do work to extend on those foundations to get the dog we desire. Puppies will be puppies and cobberdogs are no exception, all dogs go through a puppy phase where they are learning and exploring and working out their place in a family and what they can and cant do. I believe some basic obedience training is important for any dog and it also trains us humans too. Below are some tips and suggestions to create an amazing well adapted dog,

The aim of a good puppy preschool program is to encourage your puppy to become a well-socialised, relaxed member of your family and to provide you with all the information required to raise a happy, healthy dog.
The critical learning and socialisation period for puppies is approximately 4 to 17 weeks of age, due to the plasticity of your dog’s brain (i.e. learning ability). Puppy preschool is designed for puppies 8-17 weeks of age. The only pre-requisite to successfully enrol is that all puppies must have had their first vaccination in order to attend.
Studies have shown that puppies who are not exposed to other dogs and people during the critical learning and socialisation period may develop fearful and/or aggressive responses to making new acquaintances later in life. If you miss the 17-week mark, it is not detrimental, but it can be more challenging to train and socialise your dog with unfamiliar people and animals if it has not been socialised during this period.
Sometimes people think as long as they've done puppy school thats all they need but I do believe that dogs benefit greatly from further training as after puppy school a few months later you have a teenager dog on your hands where they may test the boundaries. Basic obedience and more, intermediate and advanced classes aren't just amazing for your dog but are also a great family activity and learning, some of the benefits I've listed below.Benefits of Taking Your Dog to Obedience TrainingCloser bond with your dog. Statistics show that owners with behaviourally sound pets get more satisfaction and have a stronger bond with their pet. ...Easy Management. ...Social, friendly dogs. ...Fun and knowledge. ...Pet ownership. ...Safety. ...Owner socialisation and community growth.
When bringing a puppy into a home with children especially young children under 5 yrs some planning needs to be in the mix. The steps to a great relationship between child and dog is based on mutual respect. Very young children are very unpredicatable to dogs and we need to keep this in mind. Young children should always be supervised with your new puppy, always!!We want all those first interactions to be positive ones so its crucial that we are watching, observing and guiding. Puppy will need a space where they can get away from the children, where they can sleep in peace and children taught to let a tired puppy sleep. Respect puppy when they are eating and be gentle and calm. Teach your children to use their indoor voices around the puppy while they are getting to know each other. A dog / child relationship can be just amazing and it all begins with positive interactions, respect and enjoying each others company with a mix of gentle play and quiet pats.
