Dog VS Coyote

HOLA said:
Apparently we have coywolves on Long Island, but I've never seen one. Wolves usually kill coyotes, but apparently some in eastern Canada couldn't find mates, so they fucked some coyotes. Their offspring traveled down New York and got onto the Island through the subways. iirc they're part domestic dog too. Like 60% coyote, 30% wolf, 10% dog.

I’ve seen some BIG coyotes in the woods here, I’ve often thought they must be wolf/yote mixes.

all of the canines like that can interbreed so you never know.

My timber wolf/pit was a bad mofo. Favorite “dog” I ever had..

To the OP, be lucky your kita never ran into a pack. A pack of yotes would have fucked up your kita. One on one coyotes aren’t much trouble it’s when they are in a group they get more dangerous and they are best when in a pack as this is how they typically hunt big game when they can.

When I lived in Nevada for about a half year, my neighbors Doberman chased a coyote out into the hills/desert. According to my neighbor it was clear the Coyote was baiting him. The Doberman never came back. Likely got clever girl’d after they were out of sight. I thought Dobermans were smarter but I guess there’s always a dumbass

Dobermans are known dumbasses. I’ve never seen a really smart one.
Love them but all the ones I’ve been around have been dumb as a sack of rocks comparatively.
 
I've got an Akita and two Chows that stay out on the original farmhouse location where the equipment and elevator is at. Three times over the years I've found dead coyotes in front of the scale house door. Couldn't tell you if they worked together or if one of them got it alone.
None of them bark at all and they generally stay apart from each other and stay still. They'll let me give them a pat on the head but aren't looking to be petted and will let you know if you're not supposed to be out there.

So far this year I've killed 38 and it'll be going up as we're about done with harvest. I prefer using a shockwave caller, Thor thermal optics, on a fully floated 6.5 Bleedmoor.

Btw for those saying to kill all the coyotes, that’s one of the reasons they have spread across the entire country. Coyotes weren’t historically found in New England, but a lack of larger predators left db opening they were glad to fill. The more coyotes you kill, the more they breed and we have the largest coyotes in the country in New England. Fascinating animals and extremely intelligent

It seems too me, that coyotes are more than happy to fill in the gaps left by wolf populations dwindling in areas and are much more comfortable living in closer proximity to people.

Plus the growing wild hog populations is giving them plenty of food too.
 
I remember several years back Texas governor Rick Perry was jogging with his dog in an undeveloped area. A coyote suddenly charged his dog so he pulled out his pistol and shot the coyote.

Of course some media were giving him shit and trying to make him out to be a monster for shooting an animal. His response was hilarious and perfect. His exact quote on the incident:

“I did the appropriate thing and sent it to where coyotes go.”

LOL

From the stories I'm reading it would take more than a few. And I have 2 Akitas that run together.

I don't want them to risk anything so I don't allow them out alone, but if a pack tried to take on 2 Akitas then they're probably in for a bad day.

Don’t let your ego and Internet stories get your dogs Hurt. At the end of the day they are dogs, and coyotes are wild animals.

in a pack they will fuck them up. And yotes like to bait them into the pack if they are in danger.

They also carry many bad things that could get your dogs very sick or injured even if they did “win”.

I never let them off lead. I'm not taking stupid chances with my dogs.

What I'm saying is that if a pack tried to take on both at once it's not likely to be a good day for the coyotes.

Coyotes range from 18 lbs to 50 lbs at biggest, so we are talking about Akitas - which are vicious killers - being anywhere from 2 to 4 times larger than a coyote with a bite force two to three times as powerful. Coyotes around here typically travel in packs of 4 to 8.

I posted on a 17k people Akita forum and asked about experiences with coyotes and their dogs. So far, out of probably 50 stories posted, no fatalities on the Akita side and plenty of dead coyotes. I shared one of those stories earlier. His Akita took out 4 all by himself.

This isn't ego. It is people sharing their first hand experience. You're sharing zero experience. Therefore I'll believe the first hand stories I'm hearing from all of those people over your concerns.

That doesn't mean I will ignore your warning. As I said, my dogs do not go out alone or off lead. I'm not sending my dogs out to hunt coyotes. I'm not so stupid as to put my dogs in unnecessary risk, even if i believe they'll be able to handle the threat. I was more just interested in hearing stories to gauge how concerned I should be about coyotes taking out my dogs if they're out back together without me. The stories I'm hearing seem to indicate there is little to worry about.

I'd say you have zero to be worried about. Mine are loose and miles from the next house with a river and drainage ditches nearby that the coyotes follow. The few that they've caught most likely came around a corner to be face to face and not intending to run into the dogs.

TS just wait til those Akitas run into some game pits

Every thread I enter about Akitas someone jumps in and says "game pits".

That's like talking about some guy you know who can kick some ass and someone says, "Yeah but wait until he runs into a professional MMA guy".

Game pits are extremely rare and anyone who has one is probably involved in the dogfighting game and that's just sick.
