I am not trying to be rude or anything, but it just blows my mind how little some guys know about wildlife. Wolf? give me a break!That is a COYOTE!Coyotes have differnt color phases just like the red fox does. One fox pup from the same litter can be allblackalthough it is not nearly as common as with the coyote. I caught two black coyotes last year. Here is a picture of one. As for Coydogs, there are so few that its almost a myth.
