Dogs bred by LWCA members are renowned for their strikingly wolf-like appearance, yet contain no actual wolf content.
The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) governs Australiaās environmental protections. Since 2010, the EPBC Act has strictly prohibited the importation of wolves, wolf hybrids, and wolfdog breeds into Australia.
Prohibited breeds (as beautiful as they are) include:
- Czechoslovakian Wolfdog (Czechoslovakian Vlcak)
- Saarloos Wolfdog (Saarloos Wolfhound)
- Lupo Italiano (Italian Wolfdog)
The ban applies to any dog carrying wolf or wolfdog ancestry, regardless of generation or percentage.
Severe penalties apply for breaches, including fines of up to $313,000 for individuals (or $1,565,000 for corporations) and up to 10 yearsā imprisonment for providing false or misleading import information.
Do not risk your future and that of any dog by engaging in illegal activities.
Choose a breeder whose dogsā pedigrees and health information have been fully verified by the LWCA ensuring full compliance, transparency, and peace of mind.
