Welcome to Lykos Kennels
Is a belgian malinois right for me?
Hard to say. They require a generous commitment of time and patience, especially in their first few years. If your life is missing velcro with fangs and a felony, a Belgian may be just the thing. Kidding aside, while the breed does need to be taken seriously, we strive to breed stable dogs that can excel in any structured environment. I'm happy to have a conversation and give you my personal opinion.
Why aren't your dogs doing bitey things?
Valid question. Contrary to popular belief, the modern Malinois' uses far exceed the four corners of a trial field. I breed for a do-it-all dog, as the breed was originally. Proving my dogs, for my purposes, means conformation, obedience, nosework, dock diving, barn hunt, therapy work, etc. It doesn't mean they can't bite or aren't driven, it's just not our focus.
Will you place a puppy as a service dog prospect?
If I have a puppy with the appropriate temperament testing, I will consider it on a case-by-case basis. I will not donate or reduce price for an individual. Programs/501c.3 organizations will be considered for donation.
What do you feed your dogs?
We have been very impressed with Inukshuk. 26/16 for growing pups, and 30/25 for everyone else.
How much are your puppies?
Pups are $2000-3000, dependent on the breeding pair. Color and sex are never a consideration in price.
May I breed a dog I've purchased from you?
All puppies are sold on limited registration until criteria are met. Health testing must be completed, and the dog must earn a title or certificate of substance in both performance and conformation.
