Thankfully, besides general weirdness, no serious issues besides dragging his food off to eat it, or burying it.. or, somehow scaling a 6ft fence despite him being a foot tall, or bringing me dead rabbits (he was that fast) or.. corrupting all my other dogs and teaching them how to burrow under fences. He was very very weird with people in general, and couldn't handle more than two in the same room as him. Also, he didn't howl, he yodeled.

I feel this 100%. She does seem to have some very coyote features and her behavior is abnormal. She plays very similarly to my dog. Khaleesi is a German shepherd, but we suspect she may also have a little coyote at play. She has a slightly different face, is only 45#, a scent spot on her tail (it's infuriating), does the spin butt smack, uses her paws a lot in play to get up on the other dog's neck and shoulders, has an odd voice when she sings, and her paws are shaped like a coyote (her prints look like coyote tracks lol). A friend who hunts coyotes informed me we had one go through our property by the tracks. I was like... that's just Khaleesi's whoville feet. Lol. She is a very vocal player that often startles other dogs with the deep growling play, but she learned that treasure from my mom's Basenji x Whippet, Snickers. She is, indeed, TRYING to play with them. She is well behaved but other dogs get obsessed with sniffing her and sometimes become spontaneously aggressive on her. She is actually an excellent service dog for me and often gets remarks from employees, customers, and medical staff on how well behaved (and beautiful) she is. We didn't suspect the coyote until later. She has been getting some dog reactivity issues lately because of the most recent attacks we've had. We both have scars from that mastiff. I'm guessing this dog's fancy jump attack is a modified up on the shoulder tag with a border collie spin to it.

Very independent when assessing the new environment... Yet also very possessive and clingy of her resources. Her gait is very coyote-like, and peeks over her shoulder and peripherals as if surveying her surroundings constantly... But with a mix like that it would not be surprising either... Going to take a team for sure to modify her play style, she almost seems to feel she has a right to it, and doesn't seem to care while giving that side eye-roll trotting away, predicting the go-get and grab 🤦🏼♂️ such a fun session to watch! What a unique and quirky dog! Would love to see the most detailed DNA test on the market to really narrow that answer down lol... She likes dogs, as if meant to be in a pack, unlike Border Collies, but that can be husky as well... She oozes confidence and funny the other dogs are a bit wigged out by her energy as well, as if they sense something is a little off 👀 Really want to see a behavioural assessment on the resource guarding-would she do it around all these new dogs in a new environment too? or just the household and family dogs/puppies ? Would she do it to a dominant male like Prince (maybe not)? That new doodle female (likely)? She seems super sensitive and receptive to the "go away" from you, Joel. I wonder if she'd be that receptive at home from her humans? Please do another episode of Nova. A home visit to them would be so cool to see these behaviours they speak of, because at your facility she looks great! Keep us in the loop!

My dog plays very similarly with hops and spins at times like Nova did. She is also dominant and uses the herding breed hard stare that can be disconcerting at times.

The amount of animals that have to be put down due to idiots like the one you described is incredibly sad. I used to live in Idaho and it's a cesspool of ignorant and uneducated animal-owners. I cannot believe the amount of people there who think having wild animals as a pet is okay, just because it "looks like a cool dog." They call themselves "animal lovers" but they have zero respect for what these animals actually are. They defile the animal by trying to make it something it is NOT. It's disgusting.

I've seen a number of coyote hybrids in rural Oregon and yes she definitely is. They don't quite act like dogs, it's like they just don't naturally consider a pack structure that big a deal in their life/see themselves very independent. When you mentioned how she likes Prince- the females that have met my male Akita were VERY overtly found of him even when fixed, I suppose it's the stronger breeding instincts/expectations in a wild animal. My sister has one and she would go in heat more often and longer than a dog, and after being fixed would still behave in heat like nothing changed. Apparently domestication of animals has a huge effect in that area, so saying they're odd compared to a dog is a good way to look at it, they just don't think or function the exact same way.

@blobbertmcblob48882 жыл бұрын
Coyotes form packs just like wolves do and just like wolves, these "packs" are more like dynamic families, with a mother,father and offspring. They bond closely with each other and if either mate dies, the other may never take another mate.

At first I thought it was an Australian Shep mix but between the narrow muzzle, lankiness, and general movement, remind me of a coyote and I’ve seen hundreds of coyotes in my lifetime. Honestly, seeing her across a field at dusk, she would look like a coyote to me just from her silhouette.

When I lived in the Yukon I owned an Alsatian X Irish Wolfhound. Amazing dog. She looked like a Griffon. This dog did not act ‘domestic’. Look, you know when you have a dog that has a wild mix “Did you see what that dog just did?!” If you want to confirm your instincts that your dog has coyote or wolf, let them loose in a densely treed area. My Sasha could run through the woods in deep snow like the wind. She was not clumsy or lumbering like domesticated dogs. It was impressive. She also use to leave all night and run with coyotes. She lived until she was 18. She was heart and soul. Would defend my family to the death. She was well named: Sasha, protector of men. Love your show man! I’ve got a male Jack now! Holy cow. 😂

I have a coydog, Luna. I had found a litter of puppies, on the north side of the Grand Canyon, back in 2015. I kept one, and gave the rest to a humane society. One of Luna's siblings was dna tested. It came back as 50% shepherd, 50% unknown. Before I had even heard about the dna test, I was sure she was part coyote. She has the classic sideways gait. Also, the neighbors say she howls when we go somewhere. She thinks every stick or ball or toy belongs to her. She is very stand-offish to other dogs. She barks at some people, and is friendly to others. I think she's just a good judge of character.

The body profile on this dog looks coyote-ish. The ear-points and muzzle the same. My sister got a puppy from the shelter and it was cool until it hit puberty. Even though she was spayed, her behavior became nuts. She jumped up on a tall kitchen counter and ate a whole chicken, bones and all. She did the same with a loaf of bread, plastic bag and all. They found the closure tab in her poop. She chewed everything. She turned furniture into nests. She would race around the backyard like a crazy dog. But she was very friendly, never bit. They took her back to the shelter after a couple years and the shelter confirmed the dog was at least half coyote.

I would definitely get DNA test just to know and perhaps help with training methods.

Hi Great channel. We had a spayed puppy mill mom Boston Terrier. She was 6 when we got her. She would occasionally mark after we spayed her at 6. She was very obedient after training. But at the dog park, she would mark along the divider fence(to bigger dogs). She also marked our yard, once in a while, even tho she loved the neutered Havanese next door. At the time I had a neutered male Alpha Boston.( he was like Prince)obedient , brave, calm gentle, friendly, AND a confidant.At the time I also had a Cavalier King Charles male 8 wk puppy, that this girl took on as her “student”. A very happy group. I think she marked to label the area as if to say” Ok, I’m here and I know what I’m doing. She was also known to step in to protect the “underdog”. Be it dog or kid. Thanks for your teaching. ☦️👩🏻🦳♥️Be blest.

I 100% think this is part coyote. You should check the paw and if the heel is a double dip rather than a single dip then you know it's a coyote, but if it's a single dip then it could have just inherited the dog paw. That jumping totally looks like a coyote jump. Even the way coyotes nip is a little different than dogs. I do have a question: Assuming Nova is part coyote, would your strategy of having the Nova be forced out of the circle have as big of an impact? I also noticed that when you told Nova to leave, she didn't just leave, just went extremely far away, much more than any dog I've seen on your channel. Coyotes live a lot of their lives alone, even though technically do live in groups. This is one of the most interesting videos yet! EDIT: Oh, and I don't think the DNA test would tell you if Nova had coyote or not.
