she is very protective, and i believe her to be a good judge of character. over the years she has turned into a wonderful companion, but is still a little wierd around strangers. we thought she was just a kinda ugly mutt. I have a 22 year old coydog, (one of the benefits of hybrid vigor, shes never been sick, EVER) she was very skittish and somewhat aggressive when i got her as a small child. Old cat in rural maine of course it was eaten it could have been a cougar just as well. You left an 11 year old cat outside? Poor cat deserved better.
They like to hang out near brooks and streams at night (probably because other creatures go there for water, too.) They will hunt down and kill deer. A solitary coydog probably poses little threat to a grown adult human, but in a pack, I would be cautious. I lived a mile from the road in the woods of western Maine for a few years. can you give me insight to the personality issuesĬoydogs will eat your cats and possibly human toddlers if given the chance. I believe my dog is the same mix, found on the side of the road and brought to a humane society. You may redistribute it, verbatim or modified, providing that you comply with the terms of the GFDL.

The argument that it is a gray wolf/ coyote hybrid prevents conservation efforts. Some zoologists do not consider the American red wolf to be a true species since it can hybridize with both the gray wolf and the coyote. Coyote/ red wolf hybrids have also been found. Wild coydogs and dogotes can cause problems for humans, as they allegedly have the infamous cunning of coyotes but lack coyotes' natural fear of humans.Ĭoyotes also breed with wolves, resulting in coy- wolves. Coyotes have also been crossed with Australian dingoes.ĭogotes are fairly rare in the wild, in part because female coyotes are fertile for only about 60 days out of the year.
If interbreeding between the species was common, the coyote population would be expected to acquire more dog-like traits with each successive generation. Most were probably naturally occurring red or blond coyotes or were feral dogs. Where the cross-breeding of animals is concerned, the father's species gives the first part of the offspring's name.Ĭoydogs were once believed to be present in large numbers in Pennsylvania, due to coyotes being in decline and domestic dogs being available as mates. The dogote, a similar hybrid, is the result of breeding a male domestic dog with a female coyote. Together they are genetically capable of producing fertile young. A coydog is the hybrid offspring of a male coyote ( Canis latrans) and a female dog ( Canis lupus familiaris).
