Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Australian Cobberdog?
Australian Cobberdogs are a new breed in development and are a recognised breed with the Master Dog Breeders and Associates (MDBA).
The ACD is a breed that has it's own unique characteristics:
- strong human focus
- sustained eye contact
- high intuition
- high aptitude for training
- high intelligence
- low to no shedding/low allergy coat
ACD's make terrific family pets, with many also working in therapy and service roles. Their human focus and high intuition means they read human emotional states well and adjust their behaviour accordingly.
When can our puppy come home and what do I do?
Puppies are ready for their new homes at 9 weeks of age.
Socialise your pup as much as possible at this time within the home, being aware they are not fully vaccinated. Invite friends and family over, take your new pup for rides in the car, bath them, groom them, pump up the loud house noises (music, vacuum, etc)
Once fully vaccinated expose them to as many new people, places, dogs and experiences as you can. Be confident and relaxed and reward good behaviour.
What is the best diet for these dogs?
RAW! Offer things like raw chicken, beef, meaty bones, raw eggs, raw veg, cheese, oily fish, plain greek yogurt and some mashed potato/ pumpkin.
Always allow access to clean fresh water
Where are your puppies raised?
Our litters are all raised on our property and in our home. Puppies get 24 hour care from birth till they leave for their forever homes. We have designated play areas for the puppies to explore and outside areas for the puppies to experience grass and water play, exposing them to different sights and sounds.
Do you offer transport?
We have lots families that live overseas and/or interstate. Our chosen method of transport is air travel. We can guide you through the process if needed. As puppies are used to their crates at 8 weeks of age they handle travel very well.
How do I join your waitlist?
If you’d like further information about our puppies please send us a message through email ([email protected]). To secure your place on our waitlist we take a $500 holding fee which is non-refundable but can be transferred to another litter.
