What You Need to Know
And Application Form |
- We tried a Mailing List with no deposit, and it didn't work. Some folk were just tyre kicking, and I didn't know if I was coming or going! So now it's back to an application with a non-refundable deposit of $500.
- Payment plans are available.
- Cobberdog puppy price varies according to color from $5,000. Puppies leave for homes in Australia between 8 and 9 weeks.
- Prices of puppies bound for overseas are in USD currency and leave for USA and HK at 12 weeks
- Payment Plans available. Times are tough for us all.
- If you don't like the puppy you are offered, you don't have to accept that puppy. You can choose whether you want to accept another available puppy or whether you'd rather defer to a future litter. Your deposit is not refundable.
Your puppy is carefully selected as being your best match based on the information you give us, together with my long years of experience. Where possible, we'll try for your preferences in color and gender. But we will never ever offer you the right coloured puppy who we know from close observation will have the wrong personality to fit in with your family dynamics. For the same reason, individually named photos are not taken until your puppy has been allocated to you. It's too tempting to fall in love with the photo of an appealing looking puppy who could be unsuitable for you for a variety of reasons.

Not sure what size you want?
Run a tape or ruler from the floor up the side of your leg. Now bend down to pat where you would like your dog's back to be. Not the head because that moves up and down all the time!

Official Sizes of the Australian Cobberdog Dogs are measured in a vertical line from the floor to the top of their shoulder blade (wither) which is the highest fixed point. Not to the head!
Miniature: Over 33 cm No Taller than 42 cm - 16 1/2 inches Medium: Over 42 cm No Taller than 51 cm - 20.7 inches Standard: Over 51 cm and No Taller than 61 cm - 24 inches Please remember that predicting size in a still developing breed is not an exact science and there are bound to be some variations.
A Medium which is closer to Miniature size than it is to Standard, is called a Small Medium A Medium which is closer to Standard size than it is to Miniature, is called a Large Medium. |
Push the coat down so you can feel the bony withers (where tops of the shoulder blades meet).
