Would a dog in heat attract coyotes?

My lab went into heat last week, and I've been hearing coyotes more frequently behind my place. Also, my Dad told me last night he heard intermittent howling last night from 2:00 a.m. until 6:00 a.m. this morning. I didn't believe him at first until I went outside when I woke up at 6:00 this morning and heard the yipping in the distance behind my house that he spoke of. He said at 2:00 a.m. it sounded a lot closer, as if they were only 150 yards from the house in our small tree lot.

Could this be from my dog being in heat??? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
 
Oh boy if they do come in they will probably be stupid when they get close to her..

I bet that's what all that howling is about. A dog is a dog when it comes to that.....Two and 4 legged. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Just be careful your dogs not in a position to get hammered by a pack.

To bad you don't have a portable kennel, say like a 8x8 or something where she would be protected.

I think it might be like shooting ducks in a barrel.

Let us know if you hammer any.. Good luck. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
 
Coyotes might be attracted to your Lab in heat, but I doubt that any male coyotes are capable of successful breeding now. Female coyotes come into heat only once per year (approx. Jan. or Feb.), and male coyotes normally produce viable sperm only during that time also.
Most coydogs result from a domestic male dog (which can breed any time of the year) breeding with a female coyote in estrous. It's a timing thing!!
