BOOKINGS ARE NOW OPEN to apply for a puppy born during 2022

  • Companion puppies not for breeding, are  from $7,700 in Australia  (incl gst) and leave us at 8 to 9 weeks old. 
  • Puppies going to America are from $7,700 USD + shipping and leave us at around 12 weeks old.
  • We no longer ship to Asia
  • We  ship ONLY Breeding stock puppies to Europe.
Payment Process
  • If your application is successful you will be invoiced for a deposit/part payment of $1000.  This tells us that we can be confident that you are committed and seals the agreement between us. Your payment is not refundable. The puppies are snapped up very quickly, so be aware that if we haven't heard back from you within a couple of days since invoicing you for your confirming deposit, we'll have moved on to the next applicant. 
  • Payments are invoiced in incremental stages to avoid you getting a big bill at the end.
  • 1st invoice is for the holding deposit.  2nd invoice is to confirm your acceptance of a puppy offered to you. 3rd invoice is a progress payment.  4th invoice is for the final balance.  If you prefer to combine payments just let us know.
  • 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 prefer to defer to a future litter. Your payment is not refundable.
Breeding stock from Rutlands will not be available past 2022.
Matings are being planned now for the last of Rutlands top Quality Breeding stock to be offered.
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 and No Taller than 42 cm - 16 1/2 inches
Medium:
Over 42 cm and No Taller than 51 cm - 20.7 inches
Standard:
Over 51 cm and No Taller than 61 cm - 24 inches
Push the coat down so you can feel the bony withers (where  the tops of the shoulder blades meet).
Please remember that predicting size in a still developing breed is not an exact science and there are bound to be some variations.
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!
  Rutlands puppies are crate trained and love their crates as you can see!

GETTING YOUR PUPPY HOME
Puppies staying in Australia can legally leave us at 8 weeks old but I like to keep them a bit longer so about 9 weeks.  We are using Pampered Pets Transport (PPT) which is a door to door road service covering  NSW, VIC, SA and QLD.  See below for Western Australia.
  • PPT will pickup your puppy from Rutlands and deliver to your door.
  • Road travel bookings are made by Rutlands as prices are better when booked as a group.
  • Rutlands will let you know when the travel DATE has been confirmed.
  • PPT will SMS you  48 hours prior to delivery to confirm a TIME of delivery. They will also put you in touch with the driver who has your puppy.
  • Have your phone nearby in case they need to contact you on the day of delivery.
They are a very popular pet travel company, so very busy, and bookings have to be made several weeks in advance.  This means that Rutlands will invoice you to complete the purchase of your puppy sooner than in pre-covid times.  Rutlands will also invoice you for the road travel cost when the quotes are in from PPT.  Prompt payment is appreciated because we will already have paid your bill to PPT at the time of booking several weeks ago.
 FOR WESTERN AUSTRALIA
  • Pickup from Rutlands with the other puppies. Take to their facility and deliver to Sydney Airport to catch the flight that you the owner have booked and paid for to W.Aust.
  • PPT will keep your puppy for up to 6 nights included in the price they quote  (about $350).  (please note this does not include any flight cost and re runs to the air port due to last minute cancellation on behalf of the airline).
  • Rutlands provides the food for your puppy whilst being boarded in waiting for the flight to W.A.
For overseas travel we use highly experienced shipping company Petex Australia. All export documentation is done for you here so for you it is stress-free.
 All US airlines stopped accepting pets from Australia on their flights and the only airline which offers a direct service is Qantas up to LA. We will be able to fly your puppy to LA, but you will need to arrange the services of a local agent in LA who will be able to arrange clearances upon arrival, provide comfort stop and arrange domestic flight to your preferred airport in the US. Below are the details of an agent we recommend. Once the booking has been made from this end, then you can engage their service. Angel Torres will be able to provide you costing.
