Is This Wild Coyote Part Dog?

Coyotes in cities are attacking and killing small pets, and lately, its been known that they are breeding with domestic dogs. I've never seen it first hand, but this coyote ( coydog ) looks like he could be a mix of the two. It was suggested to me that this could be a coyote wolf hybrid, otherwise known as a coywolf. But I don't think this is the case because this coyote in my opinion was not big enough to be a coyote wolf hybrid. I would like your opinion in this matter. Do you think this coyote looks like it has domestic dog in it? This video was taken in Burnaby B.C. Canada Jan 23. 2012

I watched likely this exact coyote follow a lady into and through Central park (Burnaby) about a week after you took this video. It wasn't scared at all, I thought it was a German Sheperd cross, and I thought it was her off leash pet! It was following her as she fed squirels. Stupid people feeding squirrels, they might get attacked by one of these animals. On another note my cat disappeared a few days ago. I only live 10 minutes from where you took this video.

I actually had a Dog/Coyote Mix. She was coyote and australian shephard mix. Best family pet I have ever had. Lived to be 18 years old. Very well behaved, minded and was very cunning and smart and loved to smile. Ever want to see a pick of her I have no issues showing her to you all.

@darradark (my dogs mother was a free romaing dog when i used to live in palmdale back in the day- The father was a Coyote we lived too far from the city for it to be another dog.

I had a coydog when i was younger. She died when i was 18 due to old age. She was a Labrador/German Shepperd coyote hybrid. She had the inquisitive nature of a coyote (and the vocalness) but had the calm demean or a Labrador and the look of a German Sheppard. This Coydog looks a lot like her as far as its fur pattern goes. But the hair is a bit odd. My dog used to be bigger than this one. Perhaps this is a youngin?

go to jon way's work urban howls and his coywolf research, you got it. Wolf mix..

OMG you kids need to stop being retarded. The reason it looks more like a dog isnt because they are mating with domestic animals. I mean use your brain kiddies how is a female dog going to give birth to a coyote and get the young back into the wild.....no.

DNRGamebirds is correct, there size increase is do to matting with wolves not domesticated dogs
