[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1100611, member: 17767"] TT, it is over-stated in my opinion. Does it occur: yes. But it is outside the norm on the extreme ends of the bell curve. I would wonder also about the fertility of the offspring. They are different species. Dog - [i]Canis lupus familiaris[/i] ; wolf is [i]Canis lupis [/i]so same species. But coyote is [i]Canis latrans[/i]. However, species of the same genus are documented to cross and there are cases where the offspring have been fertile albeit at a lower fertility. I have seen some coyotes here that are crosses but most look like the coyotes I hunted for 33 years in Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. I hear folks say the coyotes here are bigger but I shot some big ones in Montana. If you get out in some areas where they have not been pressured, they will come in on the run to a good electronic call. I have had 6 and more come in at the same time. Some of those I have seen in Montana were as big as any I have seen here. [/QUOTE]
