  • Daley Connections Australian Cobberdogs

    Welcome If you’re searching for a devoted companion with a low-shedding, allergy-friendly coat, exceptional intelligence, and a deeply intuitive connection with people, the Australian Cobberdog might just be what you’re looking for. Purposefully developed for companionship, the Australian Cobberdog is renowned for its affectionate nature, trainability, and calming emotional warmth. Their eagerness to please, combined with a remarkable aptitude for learning, means many Cobberdogs excel in therapy, assistance, and other working roles. Equally, they thrive as loyal family companions, forming deep bonds with their humans and constantly seeking connection through gentle affection and soulful eye contact. Despite their calm and intuitive temperaments (remembering of course that all pups need to learn how to self-regulate), cobbers also possess a wonderfully playful side. Every day you will find something your Cobberdog does that brings a smile to your face and warmth to your heart. Daley Connections Cobberdogs Daley Connections Cobberdogs Daley Connections Cobberdogs Daley Connections Cobberdogs Daley Connections Cobberdogs Daley Connections Cobberdogs Daley Connections Cobberdogs Daley Connections Cobberdogs 1/7 Size Coat Colour Conformation At Daley Connections, we breed all three sizes of cobberdogs (based on demand). 42cm 8-12kg 43-52cm 13-21kg 53-62cm 22-25kg 42cm 8-12kg There are numerous variables that can influence a dog’s adult weight, including lifestyle factors, muscle mass, diet, and overall body composition. This why we use toe-to-withers height measurements as a more consistent indicator of size. We genetically test all of our breeding dogs' coats. This helps to develop greater consistency in coat quality with each generation we produce. We will always inform a prospective buyer of the expected coat types in an upcoming litter (based on our genetic knowledge of the parent dogs). There is very little variation in the appearance of a straight and wavy fleece coated dog. Many breeders also sell curly coated pups, however, we have made the decision not to do this as coat maintenance can be much higher. It is important to remember that all coats have gentle waves in them, even if the dog is genetically straight-coated. All coats require regular brushing and grooming from a young age. Every pup we sell is: - straight or wavy fleece - low shedding - hypoallergenic - low-odour - soft and silky - clear of a dense double undercoat. Straight Wavy We breed a beautiful range of colours including red, caramel, cream, white, black, chocolate, and parti-coloured combinations. Coat colours and markings can vary significantly between litters, making every puppy wonderfully unique. Using the genetic results from our tested parent dogs, we can predict the expected colours in a litter. Nature has the final say and sometimes the statistics defy us. Whilst we all may have colour preferences, it is important to remember that the dog's temperament is the absolutely priority when we allocate you your puppy. While it can be easy to have your mind set on a certain colour, we ask that you remain open minded and trust our temperament assessing to ensure we place the most suitable tempered dog in your home. Gold Black Caramel Brown Red Parti Cream Blonde When we select future breeding prospects, we collaborate with our colleague breeders around to world to ensure we select the most structurally sound dogs. A dog's conformation is its physical structure, bone proportions, and musculature. It is critical to evaluate because it directly dictates the dog's overall health, quality of life, and ability to move comfortably. Form dictates function and a proper structural balance prevents chronic injuries, while exaggerated features often lead to painful health issues for the dog. Assessing a dog's conformation before 8 weeks can be difficult. We make a preliminary assessment of our breeding prospects at around this time, and then again when they have reached maturation prior to breeding.

  • Daley Connections Useful Info

    FAQ Frequently Asked Questions Do Cobberdogs shed? Australian Cobberdogs are considered a low-shedding breed. Unlike many traditional breeds, they generally do not leave hair around the home. Regular grooming and coat maintenance are still essential to keep their coats healthy, mat-free, and comfortable. We genetically test all of our breeding dogs so can predict the coat types when we have a confirmed pregnancy. What sizes do we breed? At Daley Connections Australian Cobberdogs, we breed a range of sizes including miniature, small medium, true medium, large medium, and standard Cobberdogs. This allows us to help match families with a size that best suits their lifestyle and living arrangements. Learn more about the sizes we breed here. What colours do we breed? We breed a beautiful range of colours including red, caramel, cream, white, black, chocolate, and parti-coloured combinations. Coat colours and markings can vary significantly between litters, making every puppy wonderfully unique. We use our knowledge of genetics and statistics/probability to predict the colours in a litter. Sometimes we do see anomalies, such as entire litters that are the same gender or colour. We prioritise temperament above every other factor when we allocate pups. Learn more about the colours we breed here. Are Australian Cobberdogs hypoallergenic? While no dog can ever be guaranteed to be completely hypoallergenic, Australian Cobberdogs are widely regarded as a low-shedding, allergy-friendly breed. Many families with mild dog allergies find they tolerate Cobberdogs very well due to their fleece coats and minimal shedding. However, allergy sensitivities vary between individuals, so we always recommend spending time around the breed where possible. We also offer samples of our breeding dogs' coat (sent via post) to see whether it causes any allergic reaction before you commit to purchasing from us. Are Cobberdogs good with children? Australian Cobberdogs are widely recognised for their gentle, affectionate, and patient nature, making them excellent companions for children. When appropriately socialised and raised within a family environment, they often form incredibly strong bonds with children and thrive on inclusion and companionship. It is important to remember that every dog requires training, and the time you invest in your pup's training will make an immeasurable difference when your puppy matures into adulthood. We expose all of our litters to children of all ages in preparation Are Cobberdogs suitable for first-time dog owners? Cobberdogs are often well suited to first-time dog owners due to their intelligence, eagerness to please, and trainable nature. However, like all dogs, they still require consistency, structure, training, and ongoing commitment. Families who are willing to invest time into training and relationship-building are typically rewarded with an exceptionally loyal and responsive companion. It is easy to allow poor habits to form in your puppy because 'he is cute' but this can result in problematic adult behaviours. We include five individual 1:1 lessons for all of our puppy buyers because we acknowledge the importance of responsible dog ownership and training. All buyers have a contractual obligation to ensuring their puppy, at the very least, attends a puppy training program. How much exercise do Cobberdogs need? Cobberdogs enjoy regular exercise and mental enrichment, but they are generally adaptable to a variety of lifestyles. Daily walks, playtime, training sessions, and opportunities for social interaction are important for maintaining both physical and emotional wellbeing. As highly intelligent dogs, mental stimulation is just as important as physical activity. We can usually tell if a puppy might have more energy than others in the litter, so we ensure we place these pups into active households where their needs will be met. Are Cobberdogs easy to train? Yes . Australian Cobberdogs are highly intelligent and naturally people-focused, which often makes them very responsive to positive reinforcement training. They typically enjoy learning and thrive when training is consistent, engaging, and reward-based. Early training and socialisation are key to developing a confident and well-mannered adult dog. Your dog should never stop learning and training should continue well beyond puppy school. Can Cobberdogs be therapy or assistance dogs? The Australian Cobberdog was intentionally developed with therapy and assistance work in mind. Their calm temperament, emotional intuition, trainability, and strong human connection make many Cobberdogs highly suited to roles within therapy, education, emotional support, and assistance work. While not every dog will be suitable for specialised work, the breed is well known for these qualities. We always ask our applicants to disclose their intentions regarding this, as we must be very specific with the dogs we select for these roles. What is a typical Cobberdog temperament like? Australian Cobberdogs are known for being affectionate, intuitive, intelligent, gentle, and highly people-oriented. They typically thrive on human companionship and enjoy being involved in everyday family life. While individual personalities will vary, the breed is generally recognised for its calm nature (on the other side of puppyhood), emotional warmth, and strong desire to connect with people. Because of their high aptitude for learning, an under stimulated Cobberdog can be destructive or dysregulated. Learning how to recognise these cues in your puppy is critical. We provide all of our owners with a guide explaining how to teach and reinforce calmness in your puppy. What sets Daley Connections apart? We are deeply committed to ethical, purposeful breeding with a strong focus on health, temperament, early development, and lifelong support. Our puppies are raised using evidence-based enrichment and socialisation programs designed to help them grow into confident, resilient companions. We are not a backyard breeder, we do not have 'accidental' litters and we plan every mating using all of the data available to us (demand from the market, purpose, DNA of parent dogs, structure/conformation of parent dogs, temperament testing, etc). We health test all our breeding dogs. We build lifelong relationships with our buyers. Pups are raised in our home, by us. They are gradually and developmentally immersed in family life to prepare them for their new lives when they join you at 8 weeks old. We undertake crate training, basic obedience training, calmness training, scent work and meal etiquette with our pups. When they leave us, they are proficiently toilet trained to use the dog door for toileting (remembering we commenced toilet training at just 2 weeks of age) and that they are familiar with our premises and set-up. We expose them to a myriad of underfoot surfaces, sounds, textures and scents to form strong foundations for our buyers. We invest all of our time into our pups, around the clock. We do not mass produce pups and ensure every single puppy born into our home is given love, care, premium diet, healthcare and attention. Are we registered breeders? Yes. We are registered breeders with the Australian Cobberdog Society. You can read more about the standards we uphold on the ACS website. We are also members of Responsible Pet Breeders Australia and RightPaw, both of which require annual screening and compliance with Codes of Conduct. Our annual registration with the Victorian Government's Pet Exchange Register is maintained and our source number is RB190291. What health testing do our breeding dogs undergo? Our breeding dogs undergo comprehensive DNA testing through Orivet Genetics and an annual health screening to check their heart, lungs, weight, joints and teeth/gums. The DNA tests to ensure the dog doesn't carry any of the known, testable inheritable diseases in the breed. We use the PennHIP evaluation scheme to ensure our dogs have good, tight hips and no evidence of osteoarthritis. We also assess all breeding prospects' temperaments against the Empowered Breeder Temperament Assessment. What is PennHip and why is it important? PennHip is an advanced method of evaluating hip health and is considered the gold standard in canine hip assessment. It helps breeders make informed decisions aimed at reducing the risk of hip dysplasia. The procedure involves visiting a specialist vet who performs a series of radiographs while the dog is under a general anaesthetic. The scans and measurements are sent off to the United States where they are evaluated and scored. Rigorous research shows us that dogs with loose hips are at a significantly increased risk of developing canine hip dysplasia. Therefore, if one of our breeding prospect results come back with evidence of loose hip joints, we remove them as a breeding candidate. This is often a very hard decision when the dog may be perfect in every other way, but we see it as our role to play in ensuring we are enacting due diligence when breeding dogs. Why do we focus so heavily on temperament? We are often asked why we temperament test our puppies and how it helps our new owners. We place pups based on temperament as this sets both the puppy and their new family up for the highest level of success (rehoming a puppy that doesn't suit a family is incredibly traumatic for the humans and the dog so we mitigate this by working tirelessly to match pups with the most family). When we temperament test pups at 6.5 weeks of age, we look at the following traits: assertiveness, confidence, motivation level, nerve strength, touch tolerance, energy level, sound sensitivity, sight sensitivity, prey drive, human focus, tenderheartedness, and dog friendliness. Based on each puppy's results, we then allocate pups using the information you provided in your application. For example, some pups are more sensitive to being handled and don't enjoy it as much as others (touch tolerance), so we wouldn't place this puppy in a home with children (because children naturally want to handle puppies). If a puppy is showing high assertiveness, we wouldn't place it into a home with another dog as it may try to dominate. Some dogs who have higher energy are better suited to a working role as they have stamina that will allow them to work longer hours. It's a little bit like a jigsaw puzzle, piecing together temperamental traits with lifestyle, family situation, gender, colour, etc. Whilst we always do our absolute best to honour your preferences, we kindly ask that you remain open minded and flexible. We guarantee you will absolutely love your new puppy! How often do our dogs have litters? We only breed thoughtfully planned litters in response to demand and always prioritise the health and wellbeing of our dogs. Most of our breeding dogs have 2 or 3 litters. If a dog doesn't enjoy motherhood after her first litter, we have her desexed and do not breed her again. In Victoria, the law stipulates that a dog cannot be bred more than twice in an 18 month period. Where are our puppies raised? Our puppies are raised within our home environment where they are exposed to everyday household sounds, experiences, and structured enrichment from an early age. When they are born, they are raised in a climate and sound controlled room. When they are around 4 weeks old, they transition into our living room where they have an indoor/outdoor pen. What is our Guardianship Program? Our Guardianship Program allows selected breeding dogs to live as cherished family companions in carefully chosen homes while remaining part of our breeding program. This enables us to maintain the highest standards of welfare and avoid kennel-style breeding environments. If you are interested in guardianship, please email us directly. Why do we only breed selected pairings? We carefully select pairings based on health, temperament, structure, and overall compatibility to continue improving and preserving the qualities we value in the Australian Cobberdog. All of our matings are pre-planned in advance to ensure we are producing the best offspring possible. How do we socialise our puppies? Our puppies are exposed to a wide variety of sounds, surfaces, environments, handling experiences, and enrichment activities during their critical developmental stages. Follow our social media to see regular videos of us doing this in practice! What is ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) and ESI (Early Scent Introduction)? ENS involves gentle handling exercises performed during early puppyhood to support neurological development, stress tolerance, and resilience. We follow a structured curriculum o ESI exposes puppies to different scents during early development to encourage confidence, scent awareness, and neurological stimulation Are puppies exposed to children, noises, and everyday life? Yes. Puppies are raised within a family environment and gradually introduced to common household noises, surfaces, people, and experiences in a positive and controlled way. Are our puppies toilet trained? Our puppies begin toilet training from an early age and are introduced to structured toileting routines before going home. Whilst are puppies are 95% toilet trained by the time they leave, it is very normal for them to have accidents at their new home when they are still learning the routines, how to get outside, etc. Remember to take your puppy outside to toilet after every meal, drink or play. If your puppy is sniffing about, it's a good indication they need the toilet. Are our puppies crate trained? We introduce puppies to crates in a positive way to help support smoother transitions into their new homes. We promote continued crate training when our pups go to their new homes, because it is invaluable for continuation of toilet training, self-regulation, when your dog visits the vet, or groomer. What training have puppies started before going home? Puppies are introduced to basic foundations such as recall, sit, leave it, handling exercises, and confidence-building activities. We invest a lot of time into calmness training, too. When we've completed allocations, we will regularly send you videos of your puppy engaging in training with us so you can see how we teach certain skills. What is the cost of a pet puppy from us? Our pet puppies are $6500AUD. What is included in the pet puppy price? Our puppies come up to date with vaccinations and parasite prevention (worming), microchipping, health records, pedigree documentation, puppy insurance for four weeks, training resources, puppy show bag containing grooming supplies, some food and a lifetime guarantee of breeder support. Refer to 'Our Difference' to learn more about what we offer. How does the application process work? Families complete a detailed application through the RightPaw website so we can learn more about their lifestyle, preferences, and what they are seeking in a companion. If we believe we can meet an applicant’s needs and preferences, we will be in touch. Please note that submitting an application does not automatically qualify you for a puppy. Is there a waitlist? Yes. Due to demand and our intentionally small breeding program, we often maintain a waitlist for future litters. This helps us to understand the demand and breed accordingly. We will not breed our dogs if the demand is not there. When do puppies go home? Puppies generally go home at approximately eight weeks of age. If you are unable to collect your puppy in the allocated timeframe, we encourage you to defer to a later litter. We can board puppies for up to 10 weeks of age. This incurs a cost of $55/day to cover ongoing training, food, worming treatments and veterinary appointments. Can pups be transported interstate? Yes. We are happy to assist families with organising safe interstate transport options. Typically, interstate transport ranges in price from about $200 - $800. We will always confirm the price with you before making the booking. Can we visit your premises? For the health, safety, and wellbeing of both our puppies and their mother, we do not allow in-home visits during the puppies’ early developmental period (prior to vaccination). While we completely understand the excitement of wanting to meet the puppies in person, this policy is in place for several very important reasons. Young puppies have immature immune systems and are highly vulnerable to infectious diseases and environmental pathogens that can unintentionally be carried into the home on shoes, clothing, or hands. Maintaining strict biosecurity practices during these critical early weeks is essential for the health of the pups. In addition, frequent visitors can create unnecessary stress for the mother dog during a time when she is naturally protective of her puppies and focused on nurturing and caring for them. We prioritise providing a calm, stable, and low-stress environment to support both maternal wellbeing and healthy puppy development. As our puppies are raised within our private family home rather than a commercial facility, maintaining the privacy and security of our household is important to us. To ensure families still feel connected and involved throughout the puppies’ journey, we provide regular updates through photos, videos, email communication, social media litter groups, and FaceTime or video calls once puppies have been allocated. We love sharing your puppy’s growth and milestones and strive to make the experience as personal and interactive as possible while still prioritising the safety and wellbeing of our dogs. We also offer a visitation day when pups are 7 weeks old. We have very stringent protocols in place but do welcome visits if you are purchasing a puppy from that particular litter. What happens if we can no longer keep our dog? Part of the contractual agreement you will sign stipulates that if you can no longer care for the dog, or you wish to relinquish ownership, that you contact us so we can facilitate the rehoming process. What health guarantee do you provide? We stand behind the health of our puppies and are always available to discuss any concerns or questions throughout your dog’s life. We also offer a written guarantee outlined in your contract, in relation to the health of the dog you purchase. What do puppies eat? Our puppies are raised on premium-quality nutrition to support healthy growth, development, and overall wellbeing. During the weaning process, we transition our puppies onto Lyka and strongly recommend continuing this diet for at least the first few weeks after bringing your puppy home. Maintaining dietary consistency during this transition period helps minimise the risk of gastrointestinal upset associated with sudden dietary changes. Why do we feed our puppies raw, fresh and lightly cooked meals? At Daley Connections Australian Cobberdogs, we believe nutrition plays a fundamental role in shaping a puppy’s long-term health, growth, development, and overall wellbeing. For this reason, we choose to feed our dogs and puppies a diet consisting primarily of real, fresh, nutritionally balanced raw and lightly cooked foods. Dogs are biologically designed to thrive on fresh whole foods, and there is a direct link between quality nutrition and digestion, coat condition, immune function, dental health, growth, energy levels, and overall vitality. During the critical stages of puppy development, providing species-appropriate nutrition helps support healthy brain development, musculoskeletal growth, and gastrointestinal health. Our puppies are raised on carefully selected meals that are balanced to meet their nutritional requirements and support optimal development. We prioritise high-quality ingredients free from unnecessary fillers, artificial additives, and heavily processed components wherever possible. We do not feed processed kibbles, as they are unregulated in Australia. We also believe that introducing puppies to a variety of fresh foods from an early age helps promote healthy eating habits, confidence around food, and digestive resilience as they mature. While we understand every family will make feeding decisions based on their own lifestyle and preferences, we are always happy to provide guidance, education, and support regarding nutrition to help families make informed decisions.

    Our Breeding Dogs We believe exceptional puppies begin with exceptional foundations. Every breeding decision we make is thoughtful, intentional, and centred around producing healthy, well-rounded companions of the highest quality. We carefully select only the healthiest, well-structured, genetically stable and beautifully tempered dogs for our breeding program. Health, temperament and sound structure are never compromised. This has resulted in withdrawing some of the best tempered dogs from breeding because they did not tick all of these boxes. It's never an easy decision, but it's important we continue to maintain the calibre of dogs we are known for. Our dogs undergo comprehensive health and genetic screening, and each pairing is carefully considered to ensure strengths complement one another. We evaluate everything from temperament and trainability to conformation, movement and overall balance, with the goal of producing puppies who are not only beautiful in appearance, but thrive physically, emotionally and as lifelong companions.
