The "experts" haven't detected a dot of doggy DNA in the "eastern coyotes".
You've got wolves!
[yeah...say it that obnoxious 'AOL' voice]...LOL!
One of my neighbors had a large litter of big black lab/shepard mix puppies and the mother took them all (7) into the woods to raise. They "assimilated" into the coyote population and a couple years later we have large BLACK coyotes. One of the more interesting things to happen around my place. Saw one dead on the back of a four wheeler- it was wolf-sized.
