Welcome to Lykosia
Meet Our Dogs
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. We have been training in various dog sports and disciplines for over 30 years and take a very keen interest in canine behaviour and genetics.
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
We love getting out in nature photographing our dogs. 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 also show our dogs in conformation in the Lykos Wolfalike Council of Australia.
We put an incredible amount of love, care and work into our dogs and raising our pups. We share the many activities we do with our dogs, puppy owners and friends on our social media pages.
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 dogs. 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
Autism assistance work and working with children with learning disabilities
Psychiatric Support Dogs
Scent Detection Dogs

Tracking / Search & Rescue
Obedience and agility

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.
Our Lykos dogs and pups we have bred have been selected to act as wolves for various well-known global brands.
Our very own Tala, her sister (also called Tala), their brother Storm and their grandfather Caesar have been selected to model as wolves over the years.

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.
