This is somre information to help to clarify some answers to the my questions about coyotes. First of all I have three big dogs one rottweiler, an akita, and a great pryenees, the three of them combine they a little bit more than 400lbs.As to wether coyotes attack humans, There have been documented reports of them attacking humans one of the reports came from Lake Tahoe where an coyote had a small child it's mouth, incase some of you all are wondering Lake Tahoe is having a growing population with coyotes rising, but they have even been spotted in outskirt cities of Los Angeles.So as to the myth they never attack humans well that to me is not true cause during their mating season they are especially more aggressive. i am asking these questions cause I have to give an opened oral report on coyotes in at class.So the subject stating unless you have a kick *** pitbull or rottweiler or somthing like that. Well please try to understand my questions and try to come up with a better answer

Several breeds of dogs have been used for ever to keep flocks safe from coyotes. Like Pyrs.

All of Nevada is infested with coyotes and yes they will eat a dog. I think your dogs are big enough that they should be safe but there have been smaller dogs eaten by coyotes in my area. I didnt see your first question so I hope this helps. They have also attacked men that worked with my husband, but those coyotes had been fed and were looking for food.

I think that the only way a coyote would approach your dogs would be if the coyote had rabies.

I don't think a coyote will come near your dogs...if your dogs are messing around with it the coyote will use self defense
but Coyotes are TINY...the ones in my area are scared of my Golden Retrievers! ! ! ! ! I don't think you will have a problem! ! ! !
