Meet Us and Our Dogs!
When Perfection Is the Only Option
Welcome to Fabergé Australian Cobberdogs
At Fabergé, we raise exceptional puppies with love, purpose, and a thoughtful early-training foundation to help them transition smoothly into family life.
Before joining their forever homes, our puppies receive foundational training and socialization designed to help them grow into confident, intelligent, and well-adjusted companions.
A Head Start for Your Puppy
Our early training and socialization include:
- Comfortable overnight crate sleeping
- Puppy recall foundations—coming when called
- Practicing polite greetings by sitting when approaching people
- Extensive socialization and gentle desensitization
- Exposure to everyday and unexpected sounds, including fireworks and thunderstorms
- Positive experiences with car rides
- A strong foundation in potty training
Many of our families tell us their puppies settle in quickly and begin ringing a bell to go outside within their first 48 hours at home.
This level of preparation takes significant time and dedication. We’re passionate about giving each puppy a strong start and helping them become a beloved member of their new family.

Puppy Donations- we love donate!
-
We’re hoping to connect with families facing financial hardship—especially families raising children with autism or other special needs—who believe the companionship of a dog could bring comfort, joy, and connection to their home.
A dog isn’t a replacement for professional care, but the right companion can become a much-loved part of family life. We’d love to make that possibility available to more families who otherwise couldn’t afford a puppy.
If your family would like to be considered, please share your story with us. We’ll thoughtfully review each application and consider the needs of both the family and the puppy.

Help Sponsor a Puppy for a Family Who Needs One
- We’re also looking for sponsors who can help cover the cost of placing a puppy with an approved family. If you’d like to help, please reach out. Every contribution can help make a loving match possible.

History of the Australian Cobberdog
About the Australian Cobberdog
The Australian Cobberdog has been developed in Australia over many decades through carefully planned breeding and selected infusions. Its ancestry includes dogs from a number of breeds, and it shares some ancestors with other breeds.
The Breed’s Development
The breed’s development is credited to founders Beverly Rutland Manners of Rutlands and Melodie Woolley of Tegan. Building on the early Labrador–Poodle crosses that helped inspire their work, they pursued a shared goal: developing dogs with a consistent temperament, desirable characteristics, and manageable coats.
The founders initially worked through separate breeding programs, occasionally combining their bloodlines. Over generations, they selected dogs based on health, temperament, coat, and suitability for family life. The Australian Cobberdog continues to develop through the work of dedicated breeders focused on the long-term health and quality of the breed.
Modern tools—including DNA testing and improved communication between breeders—offer new ways to make informed breeding decisions. Careful selection and health testing remain essential to supporting the breed’s future.
Our Breeding Commitment
We are registered breeders with the Master Dog Breeders Association (MDBA), and our puppies are registered as Australian Cobberdogs in accordance with MDBA requirements.
The Australian Cobberdog is not simply a new name for the Australian Labradoodle. It developed from authentic Australian Labradoodle rootstock, with selected infusions introduced over time to support specific breeding goals.
Temperament and Family Life
Australian Cobberdogs are bred for a sociable, people-focused temperament. Many are eager to learn, enjoy training, and form strong bonds with their families. They may also enjoy close interaction, including sustained eye contact.
Every dog is an individual, and temperament depends on many factors, including genetics, early experiences, training, and environment. We prioritize thoughtful breeding, early socialization, and a strong foundation for life in a family home.
Coat and Allergies
Australian Cobberdogs are often low-shedding, and some families seeking a lower-shedding companion may find their coat suitable. However, no dog can be guaranteed to be allergy-free; reactions vary from person to person and may be triggered by dander or saliva as well as hair. Families with allergies should spend time with the breed before making a decision.
