Must be a joke to get more views perhaps???

Pretty sure you can't directly cross wolf to coyote no matter how creative you get. I think it looks like an australian shepherd cross.

Technically, coyotes and wolves can cross. In fact, recent research has lead biologists to believe the eastern coyote is actually a coywolf - coyote/wolf hybrid.

But I'm pretty sure this poor little dog is neither. I was thinking Australian Shepherd cross myself.

I don't think it's a joke. People are just stooooopit.
It looks like a labX? to me... definitely NOT a coydog or wolf hybrid.

 

[Zass]

I think what bothers me most is that coyote is misspelled.

I KNOW I'm terrible at typing myself, but I FIX such mistakes it when I see them.

No doubt... ugh!

It just goes way back int the cross .... Waaaayyyyy Back :lol: I see a pretty nice little mutt retriever/sheppy-ish mix - cute but I guess I need to hide my kids lest it blow down my house and gobble them up

In the wild all sorts of canidae may cross on rare occasion but I don't see humans convincing captive wolves and coyotes to make coywolf without some domestic dog in there.

Sadly, I don't think it is either. :x

Yeah, that was the first thing that caught my eye. I would like to think it was a mistake, but judging by the rest of the post I'm thinking not. :groooan:

Yes, I agree.

This I agree with.
Although creating the conditions to make coywolves might be easier in captivity than in the wild. (since receptive females can be restrained, or artificial insemination can be used) But..why would anyone want such a cross???

Besides all that...they certainly wouldn't look like floppy eared, tawny furred domestic mutts. :lol:

He is a cutie though.

 

[the reluctant farmer]

He's very sweet looking. What bothers me is I wonder if someone would want to adopt him, thinking he'd be a wild killer--and end up with mr. Smooshy Toes there, and then not treat him well. Arrrgghh. It's been a long month & I'm in a dark mood. Seeing the worst possibilities everywhere!

Cute mutt, though!

 

[Zass]

I'm almost glad he's not closer.

I don't need another dog...I don't need another dog..

I certainly do not need to drive to Alabama to pick up an adorable looking mutt!!

*Zass continues convincing herself, while looking back the photos of Mr. Smooshy Toes regretfully*

 

[the reluctant farmer]

Oh shoot, I didn't realize he's in Alabama. I AM close enough to drive and get him... :shock: I don't need another dog..I don't need another dog...

 

[katiebear]

$160. For a mutt dog? Cute but not that cute...

Yes. Thank you. You are absolutely right. There are plenty of free dogs, right here in Georgia, that I am also not going to adopt because I don't need another dog. Mr. Smooshy Toes needs to have his price dropped by about $140 bucks and stay in 'Bama. Thanks for the reality check, Katiebear!

 

[akane]

I paid $500 for a puppy out of parents that were not papered and I don't know if any relatives were papered. I have their word it's purebred. If you like it's personality, looks, and it's a good farm or working dog, I've been looking for something to do agility, it's easily worth $200. The random stuff that you don't know the true personality of in shelters or multiple mixes people sell are not worth it in my opinion. Unless you have a specific purpose in mind and someone very good at judging dogs to find one that fits. Usually I won't take an unplanned or poorly thought out cross for any reason though. A breeder can have a purpose when crossing breeds or even species besides money. Wolfdogs are usually carefully planned out here and really good dogs if you are able to handle them right. They are really popular in Iowa.

 

[Zass]

For me, it would depend on if he'd had shots or had been neutered.
If he had, I'd seriously consider that kind of rehoming fee, even on a mutt.

 

[wamplercathy]

I'm saying sheltie/Australian Shepherd mix. No wolf or yote in that poor dog.

 

[Phacelia]

I think they are just using the "cayote/wolf" description to make a quick buck.
