WELCOME TO LYKOSIA
We have the longest and most progressive breeding program in Australia, breeding the best quality dogs possible that resemble wolves, with absolutely no wolf content - the Lykos Wolfalike.
We are based on the stunning Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. Our 5 (3 desexed and 2 intact) dogs are not kept in kennel runs and live in harmony with us in our family home.
Elevating the Standard
Lykosia places emphasis on temperament, selecting for stable, confident, trainable and people-focused companions that can thrive in modern family homes.
Each litter has a purpose and contributes to the long-term development of the breed. Every Lykos puppy we bring into the world is raised on a structured curriculum, early training, and endless love so they leave here prepared to be the best companions possible.
We have bred purebred dogs for 26 years, developing our very special family line of sound, health tested dogs, excelling in working and sporting achievements within Australia and several European countries. Our dedication and commitment to our bloodlines span over half our lifetime.
Through careful and selective breeding of natural, well-balanced, dogs free from exaggeration, we prioritise health and stable temperaments suited to the Australian family lifestyle, entirely without wolf content.
The Lykosia Lifestyle
Experience the life we share with our Lykos Wolfalikes. From the quiet moments of family-raised companionship, to bush, beach and forest adventures, we celebrate the bond that defines our breed. We do a lot of training activities with our family dogs and have done assistance work, sheep herding, tracking, scent work, advanced obedience, bikejoring, tricks and more.
We also show our dogs in conformation in the Lykos Wolfalike Council of Australia.
Beyond the traditional role of a family pet, our bloodlines are recognised for their aptitude in a range of specialised fields, including:
-
Commercial advertising & marketing (acting as wolves in ads and movies)
-
Therapy Dogs

Assistance (Service) Dogs

See our "Working Wolves" page for some of these wonderful dogs.
We love getting out in nature photographing our dogs on adventures like hikes, the beach, pack walks and training activities. Our dogs are the centre of our world and we are proud of the high standards and fulfilling lives we provide for our pack.
We put an incredible amount of love, care and work into our dogs and raising our pups. We often catch up with our puppy owners and also share the many activities we do with our dogs on our social media pages.
Support & Lifetime Dedication
Our support does not end at adoption. We guide our puppy owners through training, behaviour, nutrition, and every aspect of raising a well-adjusted companion.
We provide a dedicated partnership for our puppy owners, ensuring the health and welfare of our Lykos Wolfalikes through every stage of life.
If you want a purpose-bred dog with presence, personality, bred with unmatched care and dedication behind its breeding, we would love to chat.
Advertising Campaigns
Our Lykos dogs and pups we have bred have been selected to act as wolves for various well-known global brands over the years.
Our Tala, her sister (also called Tala), their brother Storm and also their grandfather Caesar have been selected to model as wolves.
Feel free to reach out if you are interested in having our Lykos Wolfalikes as part of your advertising campaign.
Final Word
We have spent many years fostering and assisting rescue dogs and encourage anyone seeking a new family member to consider their local rescue options. The vast number of rescue dogs needing homes are the result of backyard breeding and breeders unwilling to stand by their pups, which is really unfortunate. You will never find one of our dogs in a shelter or rescue, but for the sake of the lives of many dogs, it's always a good thing to consider a rescue to see if they suit you.
