Lets talk about coyote and dog Hybrids One of the Farms i am Coyote Damage controle for has been seeing a large tan coyote with pale marks a few people have seen it and its running with some coyotes so im getting the feeling it might be a hybrid if it was a domestic dog the coyotes would not let it in the run with them would they?
 
I have seen a few cases of mixed packs here in AZ. Not many. When I call in a domestic dog I typically backup and leave the area.

This is a coydog that my dad and I photographed here in AZ this past spring. First coydog we have seen here in AZ and we have never seen coyotes running with dogs here in Arizona.
 
Uncommon or rare...yes, IMO. But still happens.

Many yrs ago, my Dad & Larry seen a domestic dog running with a group of coyotes on two occasions. Once in Nebraska, a German Sheherd running with a group of coyotes. Another time in Iowa, a Labrador running with a group of coyotes.

Even in Springtime, I've spoken with a couple of farmer's in central Iowa. Both told me, they seen their male dog playing with a coyote in a field adjacent to their stock pens. They also told me they've seen their dog fight a coyote.

Last few yrs, I've seen two hybrids in my small hunt area. Both different from each other in structure & color. Both very large.
