Tyme, not trying to start a personal argument, people believe what they believe. I am also not calling you a teller of untruths. Before DNA testing, everyone was talking about coydogs, some of the biologists leaned that way. As I said, the biologists have not absolutly ruled it out but say it would be rare. BTW, they have done some artificial insemination between dogs and coyotes in some of the research in order to have some kind of baseline. I am not a biologist, I have friends who are and since I buy a license and some of that money goes to salaries and research I have to believe what they are saying.
I read somewhere that it would be difficult for dogs and coyotes to mate because there is a difference in the placement of the sex organs, I have looked at coyotes and I can't see the difference.
