Puppies
We keep our breeding program intentionally small, usually welcoming just one or two litters each year. This allows us to focus on quality over quantity and continue improving our bloodlines with each generation.
Feel free to view our Testimonials page for what our puppy owners have said about their dogs! Our puppies and our bloodlines simply speak for themselves, with many in service, assistance, sporting and therapy roles as well as wonderful family companions.
Families on our waiting list are always welcome to visit puppies. Our goal is to pair each puppy with the right home, matching their individual temperament to your family's lifestyle and needs once their temperament evaluations are completed at 6-7 weeks old. For interstate applicants who cannot visit in person, we are happy to do video calls.
To apply for any of our puppies, please submit your online puppy application form and we will be in touch.
If we don't have a pup for you, we're always happy to refer families to other trusted LWCA-registered breeders.
The 'Dark Fantasy' litter
Born 22 May 2026
This litter is our 'Dark Fantasy" litter, our second and final litter of 2026.
Lykosia Riverwind
Riverwind is a thoughtful and observant puppy with a lovely balance of confidence, engagement and independence. She enjoys forming strong connections with his people and responds well to positive interaction and guidance, while also showing enough independence to entertain herself and explore confidently. His moderate play drive means she enjoys games and training sessions without being constantly "on the go," making her an easy companion to live with.
Riverwind has a slightly higher energy level than average at 7 weeks old and will thrive in an active home where she can enjoy regular walks, enrichment activities and opportunities to use both her mind and body. While she is naturally resilient, she also has a gentle sensitivity, responding best to calm, consistent training and a positive relationship with her family.
Overall, Riverwind would be an excellent match for an owner with some previous working dog experience who is looking for an intelligent, balanced companion. She has been temperament evaluated. Full results and report are available upon application. She has the potential to excel as an adventurous family dog, a hiking partner, or in dog sports and advanced training, while still possessing the affectionate and loyal temperament that is at the heart of every Lykos Wolfalike we bring into the world.

Lykosia Dasa (Dasa) has returned to her birthplace at the Thompson family's beautiful property for her own litter, born on 22 May 2026.
As part of our Lykosia family, the Thompson family have had several dogs from our bloodlines and we have been working together to improve our bloodlines for nearly 20 years.
The father of this litter Zioena Hades (Zuko) has produced one previous litter of stunning pups for us in terms of quality, health and temperament. We sincerely thank Claudia and Luke from Zioena for allowing him to contribute to our bloodlines once again. We couldn't have chosen a better stud for Dasa. They complement each other wonderfully.
Both parents have absolutely beautiful temperaments and are great dogs suitable for families. We expect stunning pups - each generation exceeds the previous one! The genetic makeup for the litter will be 37.95% German Shepherd Dog, 35.65% Siberian Husky and 26.4 Alaskan Malamute.
Puppy selections have begun as their temperaments have been formally evaluated on 8 July 2026. We have new owners to be choosing pups this weekend (11th and 12th July) and will update our website with more information if any happen to be available.

"DARK FANTASY" LITTER - 7 WEEKS OLD
While in 25 years of breeding and desexing puppies and having recorded all health data relating to all puppies we have bred, we have never seen any adverse effects from traditional sterilisation.
However, in addition to traditional sterilisation, we now offer alternative methods (ovary sparing surgery - OSS for females and vasectomies for males). This is based on research suggesting natural hormones like oestrogen and testosterone support growth and health, especially in larger breeds. Puppy owners are given the option of either traditional sterilisation or hormone preserving methods before pups leave our care.
What does it cost?
Depending on the vet, the cost of sterilisation varies.
• Males: approximately $500–$800
• Females: approximately $800–$2000
Sterilisation of pet puppies is included in the price, while still keeping puppy prices very reasonable.
Note: Owning a non-sterilised dog often costs hundreds of dollars more each year in council registration fees. In some councils, registration for entire dogs is more than four times the cost of a sterilised dog.
Why are hormone preserving sterilisation methods more expensive than traditional desexing?
- It requires a higher level of surgical precision and specialised training
- It is carried out by vets with a special interest in reproduction or advanced surgery
Due to ovaries and testicles remaining in tubal ligation and vasectomies, dogs will continue to develop with their natural hormones and display the same physical traits and behaviours of entire dogs (heat cycles in females and desire to mate in both sexes).
The key difference of OSS and vasectomies are that dogs are unable to reproduce but maintain natural hormones and behaviour for normal growth and development.
This non-negotiable policy supports the integrity of our bloodlines and ensures the protection of our breeding program.
Traditional sterilisation may still be carried out after your puppy reaches adulthood if you wish, depending on your personal circumstances and your vet's advice.

Puppy Pricing
Our puppies are thoughtfully priced to reflect the exceptional quality, temperament, structure, health and working ability behind our lines, along with the immense care, time and dedication invested into every litter.
From carefully selected, health tested bloodlines to the extensive time and effort we put into raising and developing each puppy, our focus has always been on producing stable, well-rounded companions with outstanding foundations for family life, sport, therapy, assistance work and active homes.
We also follow specialised early development protocols designed to give our puppies the very best start in life. Before leaving us, puppies are introduced to early socialisation, foundational training, crate training, toilet training, household exposure, enrichment activities and confidence-building experiences, all tailored to support resilience, adaptability and strong temperaments as they mature. Before your puppy even leaves our care, they are extensively and safely socialised with people, our family dogs and sometimes even livestock (horses, chickens).
For us, breeding is never just about producing puppies, it is about preserving and developing generations of carefully selected bloodlines while raising puppies with the best foundations for lifelong success.
Included in the price is also sterilisation, saving owners hundreds of dollars each year in council registration costs). Our prices are a lot less than any comparable alternative.
We openly publish pedigree information and health testing results on our breeding dog's pages. Our pups also come with a genetic guarantee, Certificate of Registration and Pedigree with the breed club, the Lykos Wolfalike Council of Australia.
We welcome you to submit a puppy application, at which point we’ll gladly provide details on pricing and other inclusions.
Thinking about applying?
Please ensure that you have a fully fenced and secure backyard and have prior experience with working breeds. We don't place our puppies to homes where people want a 'guard dog', as the breed is not bred to be a guard dog. They also are large dogs that require space and exercise, so apartment living is generally not suitable. Applicants must have a commitment to regular and structured training - as well as having the dog as part of the family, not locked away from family in kennel runs etc.
You are more than welcome to attend one of the Lykos Council's regular pack walks and activities to meet our dogs and some of the pups we have bred.
