"When an interesting or useful trait is identified in a dog, owners would breed from that dog in the hope of the trait being passed on. Over many rounds of such breeding attempts, especially where two dogs with the same trait are bred with each other, traits became fixed. If you understand the genetics, you can predict what you can see in a crossbreed.
There are over 400 breeds of dog in the world and all are maintained as pure-bred stocks through selective breeding, which aims to maintain a closed genetic lineage."

The Australian Cobberdog is a "breed in development" meaning If you purchase a Cobberdog today it may not look exactly like one bred in the future. As more dog breeds are selected and infused into the development program, the more the Cobberdog will evolve.
Once the developers have produced the desired result for, the Australian Cobberdog it will be classed as a "pure breed" with a closed genetic lineage.
