The Breed

These dogs are affectionate, sociable, and loyal companions for life.

The Australian Cobberdog is a carefully developed breed, guided by the dedication of its founding breeders and the Master Dog Breeders and Associates (MDBA). Bred with purpose, the Cobberdog stands apart from its Labradoodle foundation, with a distinct genetic identity and consistent traits. The vision behind the breed is to create intelligent, trainable, and healthy dogs that are low-shedding and often suitable for allergy-sensitive families.

With their remarkable eye contact, intuitive connection, and gentle disposition, Cobberdogs are natural candidates for therapy and support work, while also being deeply devoted family companions. Careful health testing and selective breeding have safeguarded the qualities that make them so extraordinary — the results truly speak for themselves.

What makes the Cobberdog so special?

  • Gentle and intuitive nature – deeply attuned to human emotions, many Cobberdogs excel in therapy and service roles.

  • Allergy-friendly qualities – their silky, low-shedding coats make them an excellent choice for families with allergies.

  • Signature coat – soft, loose, and flowing, the coat is one of the defining features that distinguishes the Cobberdog from its Labradoodle foundation.

  • Variety of sizes – from miniature to standard, Cobberdogs come in sizes to suit different homes and lifestyles (see chart below)..
