The Lykoi, named for its werewolf-like look from a natural mutation, has a partially hairless face and roan coat; TICA recognizes it, and it is playful and social.
Lykoi is a medium breed with Moderate care needs. Judge fit by space, children, experience and other pets rather than looks.
Reference monthly cost: CNY 300-800. Include food, litter, parasite prevention, grooming and a vet reserve.
Lykoi are medium and fine-boned, typically hairless around the eyes, muzzle and ears, with a sparse black-and-white roan coat that may go nearly nude during molts. Adults weigh about 2.5-4.5 kg.
They are intelligent, active, curious and affectionate, highly social, with many showing hound-like tracking and fetching behavior; the werewolf label is purely visual.
The sparse coat needs sun and cold protection and moderate skin cleaning. Confirmed as a breed in 2011 and recognized by TICA, long-term health data is still accumulating; current observations suggest general health. Check breeder practices.
