A little about us
Our family of four live on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsular in South Australia. I’m Gemma, Mum to two awesome children and our pets. My partner, Livingston completes our awesome foursome. We love animals and care deeply about their wellbeing and health. Our breeding dogs are our companions, have all the love we can…
Why we got involved in breeding
Our story began when I was searching for a dog suitable to train as an emotional support for our son. Our first dog, Coco, loves to snuggle up with our daughter, and I could see that our son was desperate for the same – He needed his own “Buddy”. The search was on. I was encouraged to look into the Cobberdog breed…
Our special touch
We're always here! We would love for all of our future families and individuals to feel part of the Buddy and Holly family. Adopting a dog from us comes with a lifetime of support.
