Our health guarantee


At Lilly Pilly Way Australian Cobberdogs, we are thoroughly committed to giving our dogs the best start in life through a wide range of structured and interactive learning, but also through thorough genetic testing. All our breeding dogs will be tested against the full breed profile from Orivet. Genetic testing allows us to be confident in the health of our breeding dogs and also in the health of their offspring.

We work closely with our vet and ensure all our girls receive a vet clearance before they are mated. We are happy to provide proof of all testing on request and will also fully guarantee the genetic health of our puppies by way of a written guarantee of the genetic tests the parents have been cleared of. We won’t guarantee for things outside of our control, such as disease or injury due to improper care, environment, diet or animal management once the puppies leave our home. If you wish to know more, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
