Coydogs are a myth - they don't exist. Although many tests have been done there has never been confirmed scientific proof that coyotes and dogs have ever successfully bred and had pups.Last i heard it was a coydog.

To my knowledge, after speaking with many wildlife biologists over the years, there has never been conclusive scientific evidence that coyote and dogs have ever successfully bred. Given that evidence, coydogs are a myth.

Coyotes aren't a canine - much like hare aren't rabbits. Separate species rarely are able to successfully breed, else we'd see half turkey/half grouse or half antelope/half mule deer.
I just heard one day last week that the mdc got test results back on this animal. They reported that dna testing revealed that this is a great lakes wolf, probably from minnnesota, they also said this wolf also contained some coyote dna which is supposed to be common with these wolves. I know this is an old thread but thought some of you would like to know.
