Will Coyotes attack my Labs?

Question

I've seen some coyotes in field while driving home and was wondering if they might attack my labs that are out in the barn. I don't want them to get hurt.

Also, will coyotes try to mate with a dog in heat and can there be coyote-dog hybrids?

Answer 1

Your lab would kick their @ss
and no they only mate with other coyotes

Answer 2

Coyotes CAN mate with dogs. Hybrids are common in this area. Get them spayed. Happens all the time. Coyotes are pack animals and they COULD indeed hurt your dog.

And finally, coyotes being wild animals, are not immunized against diseases and could infect your dogs if they are not properly vaccinated.

Answer 3

Coyotes might mate if your dog if it was in heat. Coydogs are even more dangerous than coyotes. Even though they are small, they are very fast and know how to kill to survive. They commonly kill domestic cats and dogs. Some dogs are savy and tough enough to be immune to their attacks but I would be concerned if I were you.

Answer 4

Yes, they will. Given the opportunity they will attack and kill your dogs.

Yes, coyotes will try to mate with a domesticated canine and yes you can have coyote-canine hybrids.

All very possible.

Answer 5
