Coydogs are wolf-like canid hybrids. Dogs, coyotes, and jackals are often called wolf-like. Any wolf-like creature may breed. This creates Coydog-like canid hybrids.
Dogs and coyotes have different breeding seasons, which is essential. The real mating season for dogs is spring, whereas coyotes mat in winter.
Overall, Coydogs are powerful and athletic. Medium to huge, they have triangular, erect ears and a lengthy nose. These hybrids howl and bark like coyotes and dogs.
Mules and ligers have infertile progeny. Thus, the hybrid cannot produce offspring with either parent species or another hybrid. In contrast, coydogs can reproduce.
Evidence suggests coyote-dog hybrids existed before European colonization of North America. Mexicans like Teotihuacan purposely made Coydogs.
Coydog temperaments vary widely. They may be calm and controllable like their domestic dog father, but they typically become wild and mischievous like their coyote parent.
At least half of coydogs are wild . The coyote father that hunts to live gave them vigor and agility. To burn off their energy, coydogs require regular exercise.
Coydog lifespans range from 5 to 15 years. Much depends on whether they are being cared for by people or surviving in the wild.
Grooming coydogs is easy. Their demands vary on coat kind and dog parent breed, but they usually simply need to be brushed and groomed occasionally.
