The Australian Cobberdog is the first breed ever developed for human use as a therapy or (psycho-social) service dog. This means that breeders carefully selected for the qualities that make a dog suitable for this task.

Stable, confident in people, happy, loyal, confident and social, benevolent, observant and adapts easily to new situations and surroundings. Easy to train, but can give the impression of being stubborn if not quite sure what is expected of them. Vital, energetic and playful in freedom, yet soft and restrained in the hand. This breed can make those around him feel as though they intuitively sense and respond to their emotional state and physical limitations. The Australian Cobberdog is an easy dog to live with, an ideal family dog and excellent as a psycho-social service dog for those with special needs.
