MY COBBER MY DOG

I'm an MDBA registered breeder, so all our puppy's are officially recognised as pure bred Australian Cobberdogs.

Our prefix - My Dog - stands for top notch therapy and family dogs, selected on character, conformation and coat type.

And of course we'll tell you everything about the Cobberdog's so-called X-factor.

History of the breed

and how the Cobberdog was made

It all started  in Australia, where Wally Conron, breeding manager of  GDAV Guide Dog Services,

searched a way to breed good, anti-allergic assistance dogs. The first Labrador Retriever x Poodle hybrids were a fact. Tegan Park and Rutland Manor played a big role in the development of the Australian Labradoodle as a distinctive breed, with infusions of the English Cocker Spaniel, the American Cocker Spaniel, the Irish Water Spaniel, the Curly Coat Retriever and more recently  the Soft Coated Irish Wheaten Terrier.

Now that the breed is consistent in appearance and behavioural characteristics, the Australian Labradoodle is ready to get recognized as a valued pure breed. The first step in this procedure: changing the name from multi-gen Australian Labradoodle (which suggests a crossbreed) to Australian Cobberdog. Cobber is australian slang for a friend or companion; a perfect résumé of what this breed stands for.
