Beautiful coydog. We had a beautiful dog with coloring almost exactly like Cheyenne and a really bushy tail. We found her wandering around and took her in. The vet thought she was about four years old. She was an extremely sweet dog, but completely untrainable. Whenever she got loose she would make a round of the neighborhood and come home at her leisure. She liked to pounce in the tall grass (like a fox or coyote), and caught a couple pheasants once. I always wondered if she was a coydog.
@mozaikadezign I'm thinking about posting a video and asking people's opinion. If I do, I'll leave a comment here so you can check it out. I'd appreciate your opinion.
@mozaikadezign Hey, the video's up. I don't know how to give you a link, so I'll just say it's called "Kaya, Coydog?". Let me know if you can't find it. Thanks again for your input.
@kaianuanu we had a biologist studying the only 2 known Eastern Canadian Red Wolf packs (sub species of the gray wolf) in all of North America in the Gatineau National park reserve and he stopped by to see Cheyenne out of curiosity. HIS eyes, coat colour and teeth, size are an exact match 2 the rare red wolf, we had him genetically tested and he is a hybrid of eastern coyote, German Shepherd, the eastern coyotes are hybrids of red wolfesxcoyotes in this part of the world!
@cateyes221981 all I can say, if you go out in the woods alone, always bring a knife with you and make lots of noise, don,t wear ipods or whatever so that you can hear everything about you. My most harrowing experience was last summer camping at a friend's chalet near Algonquin park , we were on ATV's deep in the woods and a cougar jumped across a trail from a rock ledge,everyone killed their motors until I yelled at them to start them back up if they didnt want to be cut to ribbons!
@mozaikadezign cougars are only found in very small numbers here and there has never been an attack in ontario its very safe here where we live people are more dangerous in the city
@cateyes221981 Yep, they have in that national park, it borders on the la maurice park, do your best to support their conversation, I know that they promote their upkeeping and safety, if they get outside the parks, often they are shot and poisoned, farmers and hunters mistake them for coyotes, so sad, They are all we have left, and it's our damn fault.
@mozaikadezign pure wolves travel from algonquin park to gatenu park
also sometimes a giant pure grey wolf will travel from northern algonquin park to southern ontario grey wolves do live on the northern part of algonquin park and they do live in northen ontario in very large numbers sometimes a grey wolf will mate with a eastern red wolf the offspring of that will mate with a eastern coyote and u will get an animal that is a big beastly animal with grey wolf dna very wolf like features
okay but please why dont you understand i am living in the same area as you i am from ottawa area so i see these also, i did not see any big 70 pound ones yet.
@cateyes221981 the Ottawa / Gatineau area is too populated. My cousin lives in the same region and has never seen them. They are more north of you. I see coyotes at least 2x a week, it is mountainous here (Eastern townships) and the woods are very dense. I see them alone or in pairs just across the field bordering on deep woods where there are cattle ranches. Sometimes I see them walk alongside my house on their way to the fields to hunt.
@cateyes221981 lol, you should read my previous comments, he has been genetically tested by a well know veternarian hospital. I have the documentation (in French , if You can read it) I can scan it and send you a copy!! ;)
@cateyes221981 southeastern Québec, he is a coyote dog hybrid, his genetic testing put him 32 % eastern coyote, which in itself is a coyote-red wolf hybrid (subspieces of the gray wolf). Over 100 years ago when the French settlers inhabited this area, they nearly killed off the Gray wolf, their dwindling poplulation mated with the eastern coyotes and the red wolf hybrid was created, which they named a sub species of the gray wolf, over the years, the wolf blood has diminshed, there are only
@cateyes221981 (part 2)..as I was saying, there are only two known packs of Red Wolves still alive in Eastern Canada, they are in the parc de la Maurice which is a few hundred kilometres north west of where we are in touches the ontario border. The wolves (Canis Lycaon) are the actual pure hybrids of coyote/gray wolf and they are all radio collared and in the vast expanse of the parc, they are protected. There are no more wolves in eastern Canada, all killed off a long time ago.
@cateyes221981 do you know anything about the eastern coyote at all in the part of the world and that they are called Red Wolfs here, the why? Read back on my comments and you will discover the history of the eastern coyotes heritage! ;) Coyotes here are triple the size of the western coyotes., not uncommon when they are hunted here to have 70 lb specimens +!! Eastern wolf (sub species of gray wolf) x eastern coyote + Red Wolf or eastern coyote hybrid. Please inform yourself b4 making comment
@pldsign nous sommes dans le coin de Bromont-Shefford, c'est un male et oui, nous avons eu des petits de lui l'année passé tout vendu. Si jamais tu veut couple une femelle avec lui, contactez-moi. Cheyenne va avoir 3 ans en octobre.
@REdWiggleBOT very active dog, lots of energy, although he tires quicker in high humidity and is always jumping in the lake to cool off because he has a heavy fur coat, even in summer. In winter he pulls a sled through the snow and follows us everywheres when riding our ATV's.
@pldsign nous sommes dans le coin de Bromont-Shefford, c'est un male et oui, nous avons eu des petits de lui l'année passé tout vendu. Si jamais tu veut coupler une femelle avec lui, contactez-moi. Cheyenne va avoir 3 ans en octobre.
I have 2 puppies. They were left at the shelter in a litter of 14!! They are mixed with germanshepard... but we dont know what else. the vet thinks coyote..... they can jump over my 5 foot wall. They climb gates. They have scrawny legs for coyotes. tell me watcha think watch my video
Ill ask my vet about that! He's not much of a barker, he does a funny growl/whine when he's impatient. Definitely not protective. He'd rather run for it but with dogs he will not be pushed around. He takes offense easily too compared to other dogs. Maybe that's just bc he's from a shelter. If they jump on him or open their mouth at him he raises all the fur on his back and snaps at them. He takes off after squirrels, but is really terrible at it. Couldn't catch one if he tried, I think
I got my dog from a shelter, they have no idea what he is. My friend is convinced he's a coydog. Any way to tell? He's got some of the characteristics, but then again I bet a lot of the dogs do. He's about 50 lbs, looks like a shaggy small german shepherd.
@ranaway27 if you want to be sure, have your dog genetically tested by your vet, they will take a blood sample and usually send it to a lab that does genetic testing for animals, if you have a local zoo, the vet there could also help you. Character wise, I find that the wild instict is strong..being able to hunt should be natural, they are wary of strangers..and not much for barking..more slinking away and taking off.. lol
@hlbrand hi there, a coydog has a dog mother and coyote father, Cheyenne is second generation, mother was husky, dad is half coyote half German shepherd, Dogote has dog father and female coyote..much rarer. We had the genetic testing done on him by the animal research center in our province and he is 25 % eastern coyote (or red wolf as they are known here, coyote wolf hybrids, 45-70 lbs animals)
Wonder what would happen if someone would breed a german shepherd coydog back into pure german shepherd lines? I wonder if that would cure GSD illnesses from purebreeding, and give them even more intelligence, while making the coydog more domesticated...and eventually retain GSD traits...just a random thought.
@SeppLainer Golden Jackal would be a bitter fit than a Coyote for that. Their sense of smell is alot better, thats really the only advantage over the coyote. Both coyote and Jackal can make fertile off spring with dogs to.
his grandmother was pure American German Shepherd, his grandaddy was eastern coyote..she ran away when she was in heat and came back with her coyote boyfriend. He has been DNA tested and has wolf-coyote hybrid genes..the eastern coyote hybrid of eastern Canada and US
It looks like a GSD/Akita mix or some other unusual dog breed. I have seen a few dogs who look like this.
He is very pretty. But Domesticated Dogs and Coyotes should never be crossed. If they do, they should be taken to a sanctuary so they can be as wild as possible, since coyotes are wild dogs.
@JessieAckles that may be so but my grandperants had one when i a baby (i only know about him from storys) he was a half boreder collie half coy and they say he was a greatest dog they have ever owned ive herd storys from my mom that he would walk her to and from the house as he did with all people he didnt know to well
What a beautiful dog! I'm Australian and only just found out about the Coydogs...I know, I'm rather niave ha! Loved the footage of your dog, Cheyenne.
Fascinating that he likes to eat toads, mice, etc. Interesting. How is he around cats? Funny grandma showed up with her coyote boyfriend; coyotes are usually monogamous and stay with their mates for several years!!
@ELSOL102 Cheyenne has never come across a cat that I know of...but I don,t think it would be favourable..he's tried 3 times to attack a porcupine..and u think that pulling out those barbs would make him learn..skunks twice..doesn,t seem to phase him..I know the coyotes around here eat cats.....I sometimes see lone coyotes walking around, maybe young males that leave the pack. Cheyenne also loves to eat bullfrogs..the bigger the better..yerk
I got him from a neighbour in my region. Yep, lots of coyotes here, big too. We came face to face with one bigger than Cheyenne last summer deep in the woods here..about 65-70 lbs.
What happened with the coyote? How close did you get to it? You are lucky it did not try to attack...lucky there were not more than one. Sounds like that coyote was a coywolf; we have those here in the east. I saw a big one on the street at night I was glad I was in my car-it was around 3am...another time I saw a pack of 3 in the same spot also in the early morning hours. Two killed a woman in Canada on a popular hiking trail in Cape Breton.
