If it was running with yotes it needed to be put on the ground.I don’t have anymore pictures. He was running with two natural color cotes. Apparently there has been another black one on the land since this was shot. The white on the chest makes me think he is half dog if that’s possible.
Or acting like ... 11 calves down ... feral dogs or yotes ... shoot ‘em.If it was running with yotes it needed to be put on the ground.

I can definitely see the Mal in the face. A friend has 2 Mals so I see some similarities.Per my wife the Vet, that’s not a coyote (and probably not a coy-dog either). She thinks that it is definitely a dog and appears to have some Malinois in it.
What no one tells you is that wolf, coyote and dog can interbreed and produce fertile offspring, therefore they are all the same species.

We had friends that had a 50/50 Wolf/Shepard. She was beautiful..( And not legal in NC, BTW) I was walking her by leash one evening in a neighborhood in GA. A boxer and it's owner came around the corner. I anticipated trouble and took a wrap around the leash. She barely paid it any attention until we were almost on it, across the road. Then she let out a short little grunt and kept walking, not missing a beat. The boxer, on the other hand went to full attention and trotted over to the far side of it's owner as we passed.As to the wolf, dog, coyote breeding their interactions are one of the strangest things I've see in the woods. We came across a red wolf holdover in the Smokies several years back. He was actually running with 2 small feral dogs. Generally wolves see feral dogs as another food source, so maybe he was keeping them around for snacks. But just across the road was a coyote. That coyote was going nuts. Barking, yapping, pacing around and would not come near that wolf. They can interbreed, and sometimes will. But they are also competitors on the food chain and are more likely to kill or eat each other unless the population numbers are screwed up. And the NPS trapping out most of the red wolves in the Smokies might be why that one was letting the dogs hang around.
