We have been breeding Australian Cobberdogs since 2013,
Great Mates Australian Cobberdogs is located in a quiet rural setting in the Riverina, near Wagga Wagga NSW, Australia, where the air is fresh and clean. Our dogs enjoy all the benefits of living within our family and having the freedom of wide open spaces to run and play. The Australian Cobberdog is a perfect fit for any family or individual and we cannot imagine not having them in our lives.
We have been breeding purebred registered dogs for over four decades and Australian Cobberdogs since 2013, when they were first recognised as a breed in development. We love the temperament of this breed, with its intuitiveness, desire to be with people, and happy, funny personalities.
Our commitment to breeding quality, healthy, predictable Australian Cobberdogs with excellent temperaments suited to therapy work is to ensure that more people can have the pleasure of living with them.
We want to encourage more people to breed these amazing dogs and are happy to share our knowledge with people interested in breeding. We help new breeders understand what is involved in breeding and caring for this fantastic breed.
Some of the benefits we have found living with Australian Cobberdogs are that we have extremely little dog hair on our clothing, there are no doggy smells in our home, and they are so easy to train!
Having lived with other breeds, we noticed how our Australian Cobberdogs make us feel. Because they have excellent eye contact and want to be with us rather than racing around being busy with other things, they make us feel that they love us and that we are the most important thing in their lives. They seem to look at us, work out how we are feeling, and then decide how they should respond to us.
We are in awe when our puppies, at about 3 and a half weeks, sit up and actively seek eye contact with us. At about 6 weeks, some of them sit down and watch TV and watch us and look at us as we walk around the room. They always want to know where we are without being “needy” puppies.
We have certainly discovered that sharing our life with this amazing breed is truly a blessing.
