History of the American Cobberdog
The American Cobberdog sprung from the root stock of the Australian Cobberdog but is registered by the American Cobberdog Club (ACC) in the United States of America. The foundation dogs came from Australia. The ACC is not affiliated with the MDBA nor the Australian Cobberdog. The American Cobberdog has a different breed vision, standard, and DNA than the Australian Cobberdog, though both breeds were developed from the Australian Labradoodle. The American Cobberdog stopped infusing new breeds in order to purify the American Cobberdog blood line, whereas the Australians continue to infuse new breeds into the Australian Cobberdog.
History of the Australian Cobberdog
The Australian Cobberdog was recognized in January 2012 as a pure breed in development sprung partly from the root stock of the authentic Australian Labradoodle. It was further developed by carefully selected infusions for very specific reasons and at particular stages of development. Like most pure breeds it is different from the breed/s from which it originated. The Australian Cobberdog is registered by the Master Dog Breeders Association (MDBA) of Australia.

History of the Australian Labradoodle
The Australian Labradoodle was originally a cross breed of Labrador Retriever and Poodle to achieve a therapy dog for people allergic to dogs. Australian Labradoodles have been bred with Australian Labradoodles with controlled infusions from other breeds to achieve the desired traits of temperament, low to no shed, and allergy friendliness with consistency. Any Authentic Australian Labradoodle is multi-gen with pedigrees tracing back to the originators of the breed, Rutland Manor and Tegan Park in Australia.
The American Labradoodle followed the Australian Labradoodle and likewise was originally a cross breed of Poodle and Labrador Retriever and remains so today. It was created in the USA and Great Britain as a means to jump on Australia’s bandwagon. While some are low to no shed and allergy friendly the mixed breed yields inconsistent pups especially in the area of temperament. Many are hyperactive which is not a desirable trait for a Labradoodle.
