I don't know who says that. Coyotes and wolves interbreed quite readily. The southern red wolf, eg, has virtually disappeared as a genetically pure species because of extensive population wide breeding with coyotes. The northern coyote has also gained in size due to interbreeding.

They are all genus Canis and theoretically could breed with dogs if they were so inclined.

Yeah I can’t understand why the DNR told him that wolves can’t breed with coyotes. A canine is a canine is a canine.

Its like saying that whites can’t breed with asians.

I know I’ve seen some damn big prints in the woods around here south of Lansing.

Coydogs are quite common and have been known to domesticate fairly well but not to the point a pure dog does.
