Cob Kennel Gang!

At Cob, we normally maintain 12 breeds. Eighty Percent are Show Dogs. Half are officially retired from the ring having finished their Grand Championships or Hall of Fame Show Dog status to give way to the younger ones that we bred ourselves and kept, which should explain the number of dogs we have. We show the retired dogs from time to time depending on each dog's condition just for fun. It also keeps us on track with our breeding program and yes, we test the judges' skills! Just fifteen percent of the Cob Dogs are only meant just for loving and definitely not up to par our breeding standards but hey! We love them anyway and in equal proportions!

We may have 12 breeds but we do not breed them all. The Cob's specialty at present are breeds belonging to the Herding Group. Currently, our planned breeding program only include the Australian Shepherd. We may have sometime in the future, puppies out of our Hall of Fame pair of Shetland Sheepdog. We have indefinitely postponed breeding of Belgian Groenendaels since we have no intention of joining the Belgian Craze Bandwagon.

The Cob Kennel Gang!

We have a male Neapolitan Mastiff who guards the premises, a male Rough-coated Collie who does obedience work and a male Labrador Retriever trained as a narcotics sniffing dog that we use to keep our main business drug-free. The retired Goldens that we are taking care of we join at obedience trials. Our Toy Poodles and Pekingeses are meant just for loving, lots and lots. While the big dogs lie on our feet, they keep our laps warm. These are the breeds that I grew up and can't simply live without.

We practice a very selective breeding program. We may have Chinese Shar-Pei puppies from time to time. With the numerous genetic defects of the breed, it has discouraged us from breeding from our foundation stocks. Likewise, we also discourage those who carry our lines. Most of our imports now suffer from the dreaded Swollen Hock Syndrome or what is popularly known as the Shar-Pei Fever. It is always heartbreakingly painful to lose a friend and if we can spare you the angst, we honestly would. We dreadfully awake in angst as days go by. It is of the same reason why we also got out of the English Bulldog, the breed not being able to withstand the heat in Manila.

As for Golden Retrievers, we leave everything up to Care Bear Goldens. Most of the Cob Golden litters are co-bred with Care Bear and it is seldom do we have puppies purely bred by Cob. The same goes with the Pembroke Welsh Corgis that we have, we will be co-breeding with Care Bear.

Presently, we only have one male Schipperke that we show and haven't retired from the ring. We have plans of acquiring a bitch sometime in the future if we find one that's best fit and suited to pioneer the breeding of Schipperkes in the country.
