Wait,..there's a way to tell if they're part coyote? We've long suspected that with our female dog. (supposedly a Husky Shepherd cross) The male was advertised as a Husky collie cross, but when I took him (at about 4 yrs old) to be neutered, they said Malamute collie cross, but that never seemed quite right either. He'd been a sled dog up north until his hips got too bad to run anymore, and was sent down here. That's how we found him. You should have seen him eat a salmon! We were told they were fed that way up north, so we tried it a time or two. The first time without bones. I don't think he chewed once. The second time with, he actually ate around them like the original owners said he would. A couple of years after he passed, we were at a wildlife sanctuary. There was a pack of wolves there, and we both swore that we were watching our male. All of the mannerisms were right. The lanky build for a wolf looked more like him than any Mal (or Husky) I ever saw did. And the prey drive. Holy cow.
