WHERE STANDARDS MATTER
Australian Cobberdog Society
Celebrating the breed. Supporting its future.
The Australian Cobberdog Society brings together breeders, owners and enthusiasts who share a deep appreciation for this remarkable Australian-developed dog.
Australian Cobberdogs are loved for their intuitive connection with people, joyful family nature, intelligence and characteristic low-shedding coat. The ACS exists to protect and support these qualities through thoughtful breeding, documented pedigrees, meaningful health requirements, education and community.
Established in 2024, the Society provides a dedicated home for the breed and the people who care about its future. We support ACS registered breeders, maintain pedigree records, guide breeding through the Illustrated Breed Standard and bring together a growing community connected by the dogs we love.
Our Purpose
From an idea to a developing breed
The Australian Cobberdog grew from a long-term breeding vision: to develop an intelligent, intuitive and people-focused companion dog with a predictable temperament and low-shedding coat.
Its foundations began with carefully selected dogs used in the development of the Australian Labradoodle. Over many generations, breeders continued selecting for temperament, health, coat, structure and suitability for family, therapy and assistance environments.
In 2012, the name Australian Cobberdog was adopted to distinguish the developing breed and reflect its intended purpose. “Cobber” is an Australian word for friend—a fitting name for a dog developed around companionship and connection.
Today’s Australian Cobberdogs come from documented, multi-generational pedigrees extending across decades. Their development has continued through the dogs, breeders, pedigrees and shared breeding goals that underpin the population today.
A Society created specifically for the breed
The Australian Cobberdog Society was established in 2024 to provide a dedicated home for the Australian Cobberdog and its ongoing development.
Unlike a general multi-breed registry, the ACS focuses solely on the needs and future of this breed. It provides:
-
a dedicated pedigree registry;
-
shared health, welfare and breeding requirements;
-
an Illustrated Breed Standard;
-
breeder education and collaboration;
-
a connected community for breeders, owners and families.
