Our Wolfies
Our mission is to encourage the most desirable qualities of all of the available dog breeds and create the perfect Wolfalike dog. By Wolfalike, we mean 100% dog with all of the best qualities of man’s best friend and the gorgeous wolf aesthetic!
This is a young Designer Breed that is becoming known worldwide as Lykos. Our Lykos are part Alaskan Malamute, Siberian Husky, German Shepherd, and Belgian Malinois. These breeds combined together offer a healthy, intelligent, motivated, and beautiful dog with superior protection instincts.
Our dogs have natural protection instinct, high prey drive, high intelligence, and incredible perseverance. We are very specific about which dogs we believe exhibit the essential ‘wolf-a-like’ qualities that we are looking for. Our dogs are highly intelligent, highly motivated to work, please, and protect, and have beautiful Wolfy coats! We test each of our pups and recommend which are suited for protection, working positions, service positions, and emotional support positions. We offer recommendations for continued training and shipping for those that are not local!
Our Breed Standards
At Elite Working Shepherds our Breed Standards are chiefly focused on Temperament and Health Characteristics. We believe the essential personality traits that are necessary for Working and Service Positions are the most important to our breed. An optimal disposition within our standards includes a calm, focused, and and intelligent demeanor as well as Low Neuroticism and High Responsiveness. Our standards for Health Characteristics focus on Genetic Health Testing, structure, and longevity. We use Wisdom Panel to obtain an expansive genetic profile of our dogs and because of selective breeding and excellent genetic variability our dogs are clear of over 210 genetic health predispositions, offering peace of mind that your canine is not a carrier for diseases such as DM (Degenerative Myelopathy). We offer full access to parents genetic testing results to all of our clients. To learn about our Breed Standards, Code of Ethics, Registration and Certification processes click the link below!
