Introducing the Lykos Wolfalike

The aim and purpose of the Lykos Wolfalike Council of Australia Inc ("LWCA" previously Australian Lykos Development Project) is to create a friendly, family companion and highly trainable pet which physically resembles a wolf ("wolfalike"), while having the highest ethics in health and breeding.

This breeding program is the first and only of its kind in Australia, and to our knowledge - the world - as our breed was founded in 2014 with absolutely no wolf content.  Our Lykos Wolfalike dogs are a very impressive breed in development with significant success to date.

​

The Lykos is bred as a healthy family pet and working companion dog, yet versatile enough to also be Assistance and Sporting Dogs. Even with the breed still in its infancy, there are Lykos dogs doing the following work outside the normal culture of a family pet:-
 

  • Advertising & Marketing (acting as wolves in ads and movies)

  • Therapy Dogs

  • Qualified Service & Assistance Dogs

  • Scent Detection for Government-funded projects

  • Emotional Support Dogs

  • Tracking / Search & Rescue

  • Sledding / Bikejoring

  • Modelling for photography and artist sculptures

  • Sheep herding

  • Tracking
     

A lot can be said for the Lykos breed proving themselves to be a brilliant family companion breed, as well as an all-round, reliable working dog that is willing to please and easy to train.  The proof is certainly in the pudding when it comes to the Lykos!  The future is looking very bright!

​

Due to the popularity of the Lykos Wolfalike, we are aware of others copying the breeding program. The dog breeding industry can be a very shady place, which is why we believe in breeding purely for the development and improvement of the breed , as well as doing it correctly - or not at all.
