Australian Cobberdogs CARRYING MY Cobbeagle Infusion
This is the story of Rutlands final experimental infusion program which has spanned several generations. It included extensive DNA health testing, with only individuals kept for breeding who were 100% clear of all hereditary diseases in the full panel and supplementary panel of diseases known to have appeared in both the Cobberdog and the Beagle breeds.
Some of the progeny were retained for further observation and I followed up with puppy owners for feedback on behavior coats and character traits as well as allergies.
The experiment has been an outstanding success and after four generations:

The experiment has been an outstanding success and after four generations:
- Temperament is consistently soulful, mellow, chilled and intuitive
- Resilient and adaptable to change and new experiences. Eager to please
- They melt at touch of a human hand and seek contact with human eyes
- Super smart, and very easy to train, show them something once and they've got it
- Conformation is strong correct and sturdy, with tail set consistently saber shaped
- Coats have stabilized to be consistently wavy Fleece F/F and N/N
- Size is more predictable than in strains not carrying the infusion
- And in 2022 I abandoned the name "Cobbeagle" which I'd originally used in the interests of transparency. Just as progeny from other of my infusions are Australian Cobberdogs, Rutlands Lil Blossom and her progeny are also true blue Australian Cobberdogs I am proud of.
