hi i own a coydog

her name is Zoey and i think she is great. Granted she is a lot of work, but i think its worth it.

Do you guys have any advice for me and Zoey? I have only owned normal dogs before and she is different than most dogs. For starters she doesn't bark, at all. She is also a quick learner.

She is also 16 months and still has baby teeth coming out? How long did your hybrids teeth for? Here are some pics.

I don't know anything about hybrids but would love to hear more about the adventures of Zoey & look forward to seeing more pics & stories about her.

They're illegal here in the UK unless you have a licence which means they have to be kept locked up.

Hi Zobo....I think a dogs puppy teeth should be all gone by that age....maybe take her to the vet and let them have a look....the upside down pic of her is cute!!!!!

We recently moved to the middle of no where.... the closest vet is 3 hours away, I am going to try to take her next week.

By the way... Coydogs that happen as a result of nature, are legal if they are social, and if they are rescues. (Where i live, at least)

Excuse my ignorance Zobo, but I have never heard of a coydog. Could you please tell me all about them. Sounds interesting. Do you have any other piccies?

Zoey's mom was a purebread austrailian sheapard and her dad was a coyote. We live in a rural area and there are lots of coyotes here. Normally they eat your pets but if they are horny they will mate with dogs.

She was rescued. her story is under "rescues/zoey's story"

When she was a baby we went to the vet where we used to live and he told us that she was not a dog, but a hybrid. he said they were legal if they were rescued and not agreessive. He gave her the shots and a couple weeks later spayed her. She used to look like a cat and was bright orange. My mom even asked me what she was when she first meat her.

Granted i do agree that no everyone should own a hybrid. They take lots of time and energy. She needs lots of attention and play time. But i totally believe she is worth it.

I'm the proud momma of a wolf, but have owned a few wolfdogs in my lifetime. They are wonderful animals and congrats on having a nice little rescue to be part of your family.

I'd suggest making sure she is well socialized and has a little more than basic commands down pat. Have you trained her to do an emergency come? It's important with all dogs, but my hybrids have always been more difficult and hard-headed, and never wanted to listen when they had their eyes on something they wanted. Emergency calls saved lives on more than one ocassion in my experience.

Other than the socialization and training, these dogs are not much more difficult than your average dominant breed. They are, of course, best in the hands of experienced owners, but they can be great joys for anyone lucky enough to have them warm up.

Good luck with your baby.
