Do you know what coyotes are? And what about the huskies that pull sledges? These are two famous members of the canine ancestry, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A husky coyote mix is typically the result of crossing a wild coyote with a sled dog. The outcome is the coydog, a rapid, self-sufficient, passionate hunter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Coyote Husky mix, also called a coydog or coy hybrid, is a mix of a Coyote and a Siberian Husky<\/strong>. Since coyotes are considered wild animals and can’t be registered as domestic dogs, coyote husky mixes aren’t recognized as a breed by major kennel groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Coyote-Husky hybrid has been getting attention due to its striking appearance and mix of wild and domestic traits. This article will cover the characteristics of the husky-coyote hybrid and what to think about if you’re considering raising one at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coyote-Husky hybrid dogs, sometimes called Coydogs, tend to be larger in size than a purebred Siberian Husky. Their physical features show traits inherited from their coyote side of the family. For example, a Coyote-Husky mix has a more narrow snout, pointy ears, and a fluffy tail. Their coat colouring and patterns are also unique and different from a Siberian Husky that is purebred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coyote-Husky hybrid dogs can make unpredictable pets, as they may inherit traits from both coyotes and huskies. While huskies make loving family dogs, coyotes are wild animals with strong instincts. This can translate to challenges with training and socialization for Coyote-Husky mixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their coyote heritage means they may have a high prey drive or tendency to roam. It can be difficult to predict how much these traits will influence their behaviour. Without experience handling such a mix, they are not the best pets for most homes with young children or as one’s first dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their temperament requires an owner who can provide lots of early socialization and consistent training. Even with effort, their coyote side may emerge in ways that pose risks around small pets or livestock. While some Coyote-Husky dogs adapt well to family life, their nature means they are not a responsibility to take on lightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The table below is a summary of the characteristics of a coyote husky mix:<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Does a Coyote Husky Mix Look Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
