They will take him down ,unless they let him join the pack.but you do not know. The skins are prime still use the coyotes to pay for your dog food.Sell there pelts.They are both show who been there that is why you have the peeing all the place. I had the coyotes do the same here for my coydogs. but they did not try nothing on my coydogs. They where at times talk with each other.

I have a large, English shepherd cross named Eli, who before we got him, used to breed coyote females. I also have coyotes in my area with slightly drop ears and dark saddles, that howl odd, that we believe are Eli's kids and grandkids.
A few years ago, 5 times in three days, a little coyote female came out of our ditch and ran out and flagged Eli. Eli would run over and touch noses and go to mount her, but our German Shepherd, Annie would run her off. I thought about leaving Annie inside and letting her and Eli tie and getting a catch pole on her, but decided not to, because I thought Eli might get hurt.
I have had 4 beagles and 1 vizsla killed by coyotes, while training during the Spring on different farms and 3 German shorthairs, that got in fights with coyotes. Coyotes will definitely sometimes kill dogs.
English shepherds are pretty gritty dogs, but I recommend getting a second dog, so your dog has a better chance in a fight.

Coyotes are smart. While visiting my Nephew in Colorado his German Shepherd had just killed a coyote a few days earlier near the pen his daughters 4H sheep were kept. One evening there was a lone coyote in the field yippin and yappan. We were going to shoot the rascal and was scanning the area with Night Vision to get a pinpoint on the coyote. We saw the lone coyote but also saw half a dozen of other's in the brush. We are pretty sure the one coyote was there to draw out the dog and then the others were going to attack.

Ah-yeh,.. Get rid of the coyotes. We moved to what was rural Vancouver Clark county Washington (99th and 50th) Always missing lost dogs/ cats posters in the area as new subdivisions moved in. I found the cache of 4 sweaters, and a dozen plus collars from a coyote dinner table 120 feet from my front door. there was one old male cats I soon understood always at the top of the hay bales, the kids playhouse or the 8 foot corner posts. Twice I saw that old cat up high and coyotes working him. I did save the cat one night the coyotes were scrambling up my woodpile after the cat when I opened the window. I saved my dog as she was getting mauled from coyotes by our basketball hoop. After dark she never ventured 50 feet from the front porch.
A rancher friend lost three of his cattle dogs to coyotes in one night,.. ( one took two weeks before he put her down)

I swear they try to pull my lab away from my place. I'd keep my eye on both.

I have read about wolves killing dogs up on porches here quite often. Being coyotes are the top predator in your area I have no doubt they would try for your dog.

yes. A tied up dog has no chance to escape.
I would not leave them out at night. Ever...

A dog that is afraid of nothing stands less of a chance. That means they can coax it into an ambush. You had better get an enclosure for the dog or keep it inside.
Wish I had more time to trap....

here in ks its not common at all. lots of farm dogs run loose.

I have a blonde lab male and at my old residence that had a driveway about one block long I got to watch a few coyotes "work my dog". My dog was barking mid day a lot. I know his barks and figured he was seeing something in his home territory. Went out the front door and sure enough there was a yote at my driveway end. As soon as I stepped out side Sampson (my lab) took off after the lone coyote. The coyote took off down the road and when my dog was about to catch up to him a few hundred yards away..... two more coyotes popped up out of the ditch and started to fight my dog. I called him back. Lucky thing my dog learned his lesson that day. He is still alive and as far as I know the yotes never ganged up on him since.
