A little about us

Together with my husband Josh, we are Wattleview Australian Cobberdogs. We are a dog-loving duo who have fallen for the Australian Cobberdog and want to share their amazing qualities with as many people as we can. We also have a long term goal to be able to provide these dogs to people in our community suffering…

Why we got involved in breeding

We decided to breed Cobberdogs after many years of breeding Border Collies as we wanted to move to a breed that could better suit returned servicemen and women suffering from PTSD.

Our special touch

We are a home-based breeder and our breeding dogs are either a part of our family or in their own guardian family environment. Our dogs have more than 100 acres to call home and enjoy the best of everything in our home.
