Very technically speaking, a coydog is the hybrid offspring between a male coyote and a female domestic dogs. In rigid technical terms, the hybrid of a male domestic and a female coyote is a 'dogote,', although in general use, or where parentage is in question, the term 'coydog' is commonly applied to either :-)
Ahh got it. Thanks! Never knew that. So yours is purely Tervuren though right?
Did you ever see the movie Big Jake with John Wayne? Anyway he had a dog (aptly named “Dog” lol) that was a Terv. First one I ever saw and didn’t know what it was until recently but it always stood out because of that black face and beautiful coat. They sound a bit...what’s the word...less laid back though than what I thought. I’m sure that must be because of their genetic makeup of being herders...well that’s just mo of course. Still would love to have one but it will have to wait until I get more land.
Thanks for all the info Joe. I’ve really enjoyed learning these things!
