References and Reviews for Rutlands Australian Cobberdogs
FROM CHARLIE LINE IN DUBAI 2024
Rutlands Apollo is doing smashingly, we are all so impressed with him. He is the best in the world! He’s been amazing, so smart and confident, never gets distracted or startled by anything. Loves everybody he meets and is more than happy to cuddle complete strangers as well as play with other dogs, big or small. Mark his trainer, thinks Apollo is equally as incredible as I do and has been super impressed with how intuitive Apollo is and how you can see him really work things out and discover for himself the best way to go about doing stuff. I didn’t know it was possible to love a dog this much. He is everything I could have dreamed of and more. He’s doing amazingly and settled in wonderfully. He’s pure joy and happiness and always knows how to match how I am feeling whether that’s being restful when I’m in pain or running around when I have energy. He’s also smashing his training, he is now picking out my sample, with 4 dummies which is incredible and so quick. He is now learning how to signal when ye picks out the right sample.

Prior to me handing the authority of the Australian Cobberdog breed's future to the MDBA I invited owners of dogs I'd bred across the world, to submit a public survey of both negative and positive issues they'd encountered with their dogs from me. This was to bring me up to date with the progress or otherwise, of my breeding program. The Breed Surveys are published here -
