Our focus on breeding only miniature Cobberdogs with straight (but wavy looking) coats There’s significant advantage of owning an Australian Cobberdog with a straight coat as it requires less maintenance than a wavy coat (curly looking), it’s convenient for owners who may not have the time or resources to keep up with high grooming needs. The ease of feeding and bathing, as well as the reduced risk of hip problems, are also benefits that can make the ownership experience more enjoyable and stress free.
