[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2502667, member: 91783"] Several of the people using live dogs as decoy dogs run mountain curs or southern black mouth curs . I have had both they were started on the trap line and pretty much knew what to do on their own . For me light colored dogs seemed to work a little better at attracting coyote but I had a black dog that worked out okay . He was a blue healer border collie cross . I have had male and female dogs for some reason the females seemed to do better but both worked well for me . One of the guys I have worked with a lot runs a Jack Rusell terrier that is a male . He has a heavy canvas wide collar for him . You want a dog that doesn't range out real far and knows to come back to you . You don't want a dog that wants to stand and fight . My dogs worked by themselves I didn't have more then one at a time but several people will run two or more at a time . You want them to challenge them into coming to you and then standing in shooting range for your shot . My dogs were all smart , my last dog was around 14 when one morning I had 6 pups answering my howls he came back to my side looked at me and went to the truck loaded up and retired . It was fine with me he had earned his keep over the years and lived to be nearly 16 . Ellie was a smaller southern black mouth cur light tan in color and just knew what to do . She wasn't overly loud mouthed just enough to get and keep them interested . She would run them then turn and lure them my way . When she had them in gun range she would go past me stand to the side and behind me till I shot then she would have her fun with them . Most of my dogs knew that once the shot was made on one if there were more to go and work the others keeping them near and their attention off of the shooter . It's about them showing themselves and playing the game of chase and be chased by the coyote . My dogs also helped me to locate the dens with the pups after the adults were out of the picture saving me a lot of foot steps . They were my friends and a ton of company we learned to rely on each other . [/QUOTE]
