Bringing an Australian Cobberdog into your life is an exciting decision, but finding the right breeder is just as important as choosing the breed itself. A reputable breeder ensures your puppy is healthy, well-socialised, and true to the Cobberdog’s wonderful temperament.
Here are key questions to ask before committing.
1. Are You a registered Cobberdog breeder?
Look for breeders who are registered with recognised associations, such as the Master Dog Breeders and Associates (MDBA), to ensure ethical breeding practices.
2. Do you have any cobberdogs that we could meet?
Some breeder’s may be able to assist you meeting cobberdogs in your area.
3. What health testing do you perform?
A responsible breeder conducts DNA testing and regular health checks to prevent hereditary conditions. Ask for documentation.
4. How do you socialise your puppies?
Cobberdogs thrive on human interaction. Good breeders expose puppies to various sounds, people, and environments from an early age.
5. What support do you offer after purchase?
A reputable breeder will provide ongoing advice and support to help you raise a happy, healthy Cobberdog.
By asking these questions, you’ll not only protect your investment but also ensure you bring home a Cobberdog who will be a loving companion for years to come.
