GUIDANCE THAT COMES HOME WITH YOU

The first year deserves more than a handover sheet

Every Lovelocks family receives our 300-page Puppy Companion, to guide you through your puppy’s first 12 months. More than a handover book, it helps you shape behaviour, strengthen connection and nurture the calmness, confidence and resilience your puppy will carry into family life.

The Lovelocks Puppy Park 🌿

Our puppy park is much more than just a place for puppies to play.

It’s an intentionally created space where our puppies can explore different surfaces, textures, smells, sounds, obstacles and environments as they grow all at their own pace.

I love watching them work things out for themselves: climbing over logs, investigating the gardens, digging in the sand, balancing on new surfaces and simply becoming more confident in the world around them.

These little everyday experiences are an important part of how we raise our puppies at Lovelocks. Enrichment doesn’t need to mean constant stimulation sometimes the best learning happens when puppies are simply given a safe, interesting environment and the freedom to explore.

Over the coming weeks I’ll share a little update on the puppy park itself too, because it’s had quite the refresh ready for our next group of little explorers. 🤎

Cilla 🤎

Growing up beautifully. She has the most gorgeous expression — calm, curious and always watching what’s going on.

Meet Cilla 🤎

Cilla is one of our beautiful Elvis × Georgie puppies and is being considered for either a carefully selected local guardian home or placement through the Lovelocks New Breeder Mentorship Program.

She is expected to mature medium in size, is DNA clear and has good structure with a refined, straight, light-density fleece coat, the result of years of thoughtful breeding and selection.

For the right aspiring breeder, Cilla represents a rare opportunity to begin with quality Lovelocks bloodlines, hands-on education and experienced mentorship while developing an ethical breeding program built with principles and purpose.

🌹 Graceland Rose Line • 4 Weeks Old

Confidence is growing, personalities are emerging, and the puppies are becoming more engaged with the world around them.

One of our favourite stages of puppy development. ❤️

Saffy, professional cuddler, expert bed occupier, and one of the sweetest dogs we've ever bred.

Some temperaments are impossible to ignore.

There's something special about a dog at the beach.

The freedom to run, the joy of the waves, the wind in their coat, and not a care in the world.

Just another one of our beautiful dogs living their best life. 🌊✨

Lovelocks True Love - another beautiful future breeding girl.
'True Love' aka Sadie, has a beautiful light density silky coat with rich warmth in colour. She is a sweet connected puppy very affectionate and highly intelligent. We love where our program is headed and proud of our next generation girls.

#AustralianCobberdog #Cobberdog #lovelockscobberdogs #TherapyDogPotential #DogBreederAustralia

Lovelocks Chilli carries 15 documented generations behind her, which is pretty special when you stop and think about it.

She’s also part of our third generation here, coming down from Martha one of our original foundation girls from Spring Hills Australian Cobberdogs and the matriarch of our female lines.

She’s a lovely example of what we’ve been building.

Moseley represents the next step in our program thoughtfully bred from Georgie to carry forward the calm, connected temperaments and structure we’ve carefully developed over the years.
As he grows, we’ll be watching him closely, and if he continues on this path, he has the potential to become a very special part of future Lovelocks lines.

Lovelocks Safron — a beautiful, exceptionally calm and deeply connected puppy. Her temperament is, truly special… incredibly intuitive, intelligent, and such an easy, thoughtful companion. 🤍

#lovelockscobberdogs #AustralianCobberdogs #Cobberdog

Lovelocks Wildflower – “Windy” 🌿

Windy has the most beautiful temperament gentle, affectionate, and deeply connected to her people. She carries a natural calmness that makes her such a special girl.

We’re hoping to plan her honeymoon toward the end of the year and are currently assessing our boys to find the most complementary match for her. When a girl is this balanced, the decision must be thoughtful.

She is perfect as she is — our role is simply to choose wisely.

More to come 💛

Rosie 💛

Rosie is one of our gorgeous Georgie daughters who we’ve retained for breeding, and she’s thriving with her wonderful guardian family exactly how we love our breeding dogs to live: deeply loved, well socialised, and part of everyday family life.🐾

Thank you Jacqui Wilson for the beautiful photo. 📸

✨ Guardian Homes Sought – Three Very Special Dogs ✨

From time to time, we have carefully selected dogs within our program who are looking for the right Guardian home and we currently have three beautiful dogs seeking placement.

Each of these dogs has been thoughtfully raised within our program and selected for their temperament, structure, and suitability to represent both Lovelocks Cobberdogs and the Australian Cobberdog breed. Guardian dogs live full family lives while remaining part of our breeding program, and this pathway suits homes who value consistency, calm leadership, and an ongoing relationship with us.

Guardian placements are not about first-come availability they are about finding the right match for both the dog and the family. Homes with time, predictability, and a genuine commitment to training and socialisation are best suited.

You can view the dogs currently available here:
👉 https://www.lovelockscobberdogs.com/available-now

If you feel a Guardian dog may be right for you, please take the time to read our Guardian Family page and submit an application. I’m always happy to meet and discuss whether this pathway is a good fit for everyone involved.

✨ Wild Rose ✨
We’re excited to be keeping this beautiful boy in our Guardian Program with hopes he’ll become part of our future breeding program. Bringing in lovely new Canadian genetics, he’s already showing a calm, balanced temperament, great pigment, a straight coat and beautiful structure.

Now we let him grow, mature, and show us who he becomes 🤍

🎄✨ Christmas photo shoot with our 3-week-old pups ✨🎄
Eyes open, tiny personalities starting to shine.

No days off in breeding just swapping the ham and potatoes for puppies and cameras 📸🐾

These little faces will soon be bringing joy to their waiting families, and we loved capturing a bit of Christmas magic today ❤️

Christmas Eve looks a little different around here 🎄🐾

In between glazing the ham and keeping an eye on the roast potatoes, I’ve been ducking into my office to take and edit puppy photos — little moments captured to share with the families who are waiting so patiently.

As a breeder, a true “day off” is almost non-existent. Even on holidays, everything we do revolves around the care, wellbeing, and thoughtful raising of our pack and puppies. It’s feeding, cleaning, observing, documenting, and plenty of quiet connection — all woven into the day.

There’s something really special about knowing that a simple photo, taken in the middle of Christmas preparations, can bring joy and reassurance to a family counting down to their puppy’s homecoming.

From our home (and office!) to yours — wishing our families a calm, love-filled Christmas 🤍🐶

✨ Daphne’s Christmas Litter – A Special Celebration ✨

Yesterday we took the most beautiful Christmas photos of Daphne’s puppies, and it feels extra meaningful as this is her hird and final litter. Our sweet Daphne is now officially retiring from breeding after giving us 24 incredible puppies over the years each one bringing their own joy, gentleness, and joyful Cobberdog spirit into the world.

Here are her final 10 little treasures, born into the festive season and soon heading off to bring warmth and happiness to their new families over Christmas. 🎄❤️✨

To honour her legacy, I’ve kept two girls from her lines:
🌸 Lovelocks Wildflower – a beautiful standard girl from her previous litter
❤️ Lovelocks True Love “Trudy” – a sweet small-medium from this very litter

Both will grow up in guardian homes and carry forward everything we adore about Daphne: her steadiness, softness, and incredible intuition.

Daphne will now enjoy retirement as a beloved family companion exactly what she deserves. 🤎

Enjoy these Christmas moments from her final chapter.

Etta at 6 months 🧡
Sun-bleached caramel coat, freshly bathed, and living her best “little shadow” life.

She’s bonded, intuitive, and the world’s cutest collector of household treasures (everything ends up in her bed).

This girl will join the Australian Cobberdog Exhibition Team 2026, and she’s already showing that signature Lovelocks look.

✨ Georgie ✨
(Tagalong Rosie’s Georgina)

Georgie is our beautiful mid-size Cobberdog with a striking red coat and a temperament that ticks all the boxes. She is highly affectionate, thrives on eye contact, and is naturally focused on people. These are qualities we carefully select for, as they support strong trainability and the therapy-suited nature the Cobberdog is known for.

Georgie loves to please, responds quickly to learning, and even has a quirky habit of bringing me “gifts.” She’s also famous for her big, enveloping hugs — the kind of connected behaviour that makes her such a special part of our program.

✨ Our gorgeous girl Lovelocks Winnie Tokala has now headed home with her amazing guardian Jess after raising her beautiful litter here at Lovelocks. Winnie has been with Jess since she was a pup, and we’re so grateful for the love and care she’s always received. 💕

As part of our guardian program, Jess had first pick of Winnie’s litter and chose the stunning Mookaite, who we hope to welcome back in the future when she’s ready for puppies of her own. 🐾

We’re so thankful for our guardian families—together, we’re raising calm, connected, therapy-suited Cobberdogs who change lives.

✨ Meet Poppy ✨
Our cool caramel standard sized girl with a whole lot of heart 💛

At 8 months old, Poppy is Daphne’s daughter—and an affectionate, people-focused girl in a big dog body. She adores connection, cuddles, and being close to her people. She's loving, enthusiastic, and thrives in a home where she can be part of the action.

We’re ideally seeking a Guardian Home for Poppy (you’ll find more about what that involves on our website). Due to her size, she’s best suited to homes without small children. If a Guardian Home isn’t found, she’ll be available for sale at a higher price point to reflect her age and her solid foundation training.

Think you might be the right fit for this big-hearted girl? We’d love to hear from you 🐾

Lovelocks Soulful Legacy At Last Etta

She’s Martha’s last daughter, and with Martha now retired, it feels fitting that Etta will carry her legacy forward.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better way to honour everything Martha has contributed to our program.

🐾 Stevie • 12 Weeks Old 🐾
This beautiful boy is all packed and ready to head home to his forever family this week! 💼💙

Stevie is everything we could hope for in a young Cobberdog—super affectionate, deeply connected, and happiest when curled up for a cuddle. 🥰

At 12 weeks, he’s solid in his sit, recall, “let’s go,” and lay, and he’s well on his way to mastering self-settling in both his crate and during pen time away from his littermates. That calm confidence is coming together beautifully.

He’s also showing a lovely little work ethic—keen to engage, eager to please, and ready for the next adventure with his people by his side.

We’ll miss your sweet soul, Stevie, but we know your new family is going to absolutely adore you. 🐶💛
