They are starting to become more and more common everywhere. I dont agree with Howler a whole lot..... Most coyotes look mostly the same (some with different color differentials). The Coydog that is around here though is definately one though. You can see the coyote in it for sure and it also looks like his dog that ran away last year about this time. It's for sure a Coydog. She was in heat or should have been about the time she left. She was in heat in about July or early August so yea that would be about right. anyone else know much about these mean ole things?
