About our Family…
We are a family business, and our names are Robyn and Greg; that’s us at right! We have spent 30 years in the hinterland where we raised our three children. Greg and I have always loved animals and our background includes breeding and showing German Shepherds and Quarter Horses.
our work…
We both worked in Maleny. Robyn, coming from a background as a registered nurse qualified as a Homeopath and established a successful natural healing business now winding down after 30 years. With a solid foundation of practical animal knowledge the practice expanded into successfully treating horses and dogs, and the occasional needy chook was never overlooked!

Our care and dedication to all things leading to happy and healthy pets is evident in our visitor reviews. You can be sure that we are committed to safe, hygienic and ethical practices; we want our pups to grow to be the healthiest, most beautiful pets and companions.
our Journey…
As our kids grew up and moved out, the Shepherds grew old and passed on. We started looking into non shedding dog breeds that would be easier to manage as we got older, and would be safe and social when grandchildren came to visit.
It was really the non shedding attribute that attracted us to the Cobberdog breed and the shaggy dog look with the calm & loveable temperament.
and now Cobberdogs…
Since 2012 the Australian Cobberdog has been registered with the International Master Dog Breeders Association (MDBA) as a pure breed in development.
…why Cobberdogs for us?
As breeders, it was the look of the dog that attracted us to the Cobberdog, and the low-shedding allergy friendly coat. We don’t have allergies ourselves, but having bred German Shepherds for many years the thought of not having hair everywhere was a huge plus! The health of the breed was another star feature of the Cobberdog; throughout its development it has been protected through DNA testing, making it a supremely healthy canine companion.
It is hard to favour any one specific characteristic about this breed; it just keeps ticking boxes! Health, temperament, intelligence, beauty, size variations.
…but the most special quality of all…
But the one thing Cobberdogs have is their ability to connect with you. These dogs deliberately draw eye contact with you! They are happy just to follow you around all day, peg out the washing, go in the car for school pick up, sit at your feet while you work on your computer just be a companions.
We love these dogs and providing families with such beautiful companions.
