Understanding the investment involved in welcoming a quality, ethically bred Australian Cobberdog.
One of the first questions prospective buyers ask is: how much does an Australian Cobberdog cost? The answer varies depending on the breeder, the size of the dog, and the level of health testing and puppy raising involved. In this article, we break down what influences pricing and why cost matters when choosing a breeder.
Purchase Price
Australian Cobberdog puppies from reputable, MDBA-registered breeders in Australia typically range in price.
The cost reflects the significant investment breeders make in health testing, puppy raising, and ongoing program development.
At Wattleview, we price our puppies to reflect the true cost of our program. Please contact us for current pricing.
What's Included in the Price?
When you purchase a Wattleview puppy, the price includes:
Comprehensive Orivet genetic health screening of both parents
PennHIP and OFA hip and elbow assessments on breeding dogs
Puppy Culture and Badass Breeder curriculum from birth
Age-appropriate vaccinations and microchipping
Vet health check prior to going home
Puppy pack with food, collar, and program documentation
Lifetime breeder support
Ongoing Costs to Consider
The purchase price is just the beginning. Responsible dog ownership includes ongoing investment in food, veterinary care, grooming, training, and insurance.
Australian Cobberdogs require regular grooming due to their non-shedding fleece coat. Professional grooming can be beneficial for their coat. Budget for this as an ongoing expense alongside annual vet checks, vaccinations, heartworm prevention, and insurance.
Why Does Price Vary Between Breeders?
Not all breeders invest equally in their dogs. A well-bred dog is an investment in many years of companionship, health, and joy. Choosing a reputable breeder with transparent health testing is the best way to reduce the risk of costly veterinary bills and heartbreak further down the track.
