I think that is awesome!! I would be interested in seeing how she is towards other dogs? I could see old hound stud dog getting chewed up when you put him in there to breed her. I am also suprised she hasn't chewed her way out of that chainlink yet!!
He said that when he put the hound in there with her the only problem he had was trying to keep her still. She never growled but just wouldn't let him mount. I'm also very surprised she hasn't got out yet.

ACTUALLY.... we have been waiting for pics of it baying a hog! who ever knows this guy should tell him to put it in the pen.. Im real curious as to whether it will bay or catch. I think he just wants her to breed to. It would be neat if she bayed though. I don't think he cares to much, if you breed her to a hound they maybe pretty mouthy but I'm sure they'll bay everything.

I would lay odds that they would be more inclined to catch than to bay, especially if the hound is catchy at all. I don't think a coyote would be near as interested in working stock as having dinner.

Why a hound? Im sure by nature she already has a nose... but then I can see alot of things from other breeds also. Might be pups you get stuck with...especially if they arem one owner dogs. Please post more pice in the future with the hound & pups! Thanks for the entresting post

I bet you the coyote nose would not be as cold as you would think. In the wild it would be pointless for a coyote to run a 10 hour track and waste its time and energy in something it would take a long time to catch. It would be easier and more effecient to walk by and to run the 10 minute old rabbit track or the neighbors cat. My stepdad caught one just weaned as a pup and his was so wild no one could get close to it or handle it even him. This one does not seem like that. Pretty cool.

100:1 odds its a shoat catcher. Waylon Now that aint no joke! Steve Steve, According to legend.... did'nt Lacy dogs partialy originate from coyote and scent hound? Makes sence you know, because the stockman loves nothing more than a coyote. . Shoot.... cross those pups with a grey hound and you got the ingredients for a full blown BLUE Lacy. I'd bet good money they will eat dead cows all day and catch shoats all night. OOPS...I mean pen cows all day and hunt hogs all night. Hehe....I don't believe it for one minute. Sorry don't want to hijack the post. Anyone every seen a nature show where a coyote smells a mouse under 2 foot of snow and digs it out for dinner. Now I'd say thats a pretty good nose but i've come to beleive Cold trailing does'nt have anything to do with weather or not the dog can smell the track it has everything to do with the fact that the dog has the instinct to follow it. I'n my opinion a hounds nose is not very much more sensitive than any other dog or coyote for that matter its the instincts that are different. Waylon Waylon

Wow, I can't believe she's still around either! Waylon, when we talked to the granddaughter she said it was a pet wolf in the mix. But I agree with you, doesn't make a lot of sense, I'm not sure what it would add to a dog working range hogs. Though the description of this yote sounds a lot like Sadie, except for the part where she lets the hound live after it tried humping her

I am keenly interested in how this whole project turns out. I can see positive and negative attributes that the crossing of these two may bring out. I'm pretty sure whatever you get will be gritty and a little open if not just wide open. I bet the pups will have a lot of drive though and as long as you can trash break them will be neat dogs.
I don't care what eithics come into play here, I think it is neat taking a step back from what man has created and going with what nature has done. I'm so glad he has decided to take on this risky little project.
I'm with the others though that think she is better of a pet and a novelty than a hunting dog. There are plenty of reasons I can think of that risking her escape back into the wild would be no good for she or any human she came in contact with. Its a life long commitment, and I'm interested to see what becomes of it. There will be arguements on both sides, but I say kudos for trying.
Cheers M
