Of 379 wild canid skulls taken in Ohio from 1982 to 1988, 10 (2.6%) were found to be coydogs. It was noted that "The incidence of coydog hybrids was high only in areas of expanding, widely dispersed coyote populations". [9] In a study of coyote–dog encounters in the wild, hostile and playful encounters were seen in about equal proportions. [10]
The study suggests that at some point in time, female coyotes managed to mate with some of the male wolves of the remnant wild Mexican wolf populations. Analysis on the haplotype of some coyotes from Texas also detected the presence of male wolf introgression, such as Y chromosomes from the gray wolves in the southern coyotes.
Captive-bred F 1 gray wolf × coyote hybrids, Wildlife Science Center in Forest Lake, Minnesota. A coywolf is a canid hybrid descended from coyotes (Canis latrans), eastern wolves (Canis lycaon), gray wolves (Canis lupus), and dogs (Canis familiaris). All of these species are members of the genus Canis with 78 chromosomes; they therefore can ...

Melanistic coyotes owe their color to a mutation that first arose in domestic dogs. [77] Coyotes occasionally mate with domestic dogs, sometimes producing crosses colloquially known as "coydogs". [78] Such matings are rare in the wild, as the mating cycles of dogs and coyotes do not coincide, and coyotes are usually antagonistic towards dogs.
“Coyotes are a nuisance animal and are not protected under Texas law,” he said. “In the rural counties you can shoot a coyote. ... Wild dogs have to hunt for food in ranch or wild lands ...
Female jackals accepted male dogs more easily. The half-breed jackal-dogs were hard to train and were bred back to Huskies to produce quarter-bred hybrids (quadroons). To improve trainability, other dogs were bred into the line: A Nenets Herding Laika, a Fox Terrier, and a Spitz. These hybrids were small, agile, and trainable, and had excellent ...
