Just had 2 cruise through the backyard. One gray & was a male as he marked a tree & another following along was him was a albino (light blonde in color like a Lab). Was cool looking & I have never seen anything albino in the wild.
Didn't get pics........
Let Storm out after they passed & he went to that tree (same tree he keeps going to & peeing on) sniffed, tracked their trails, peed many times, & held his head back in the air barking at the woods. Wonder if he was telling them, *My yard* ????
A typical coyote resembles a small, lanky German shepherd, but several characteristics distinguish it from a dog. Coyotes tend to be more slender and have wide, pointed ears; a long, tapered muzzle; yellow eyes; slender legs; small feet; and a straight, bushy tail which is carried low to the ground. The pelage (fur) is usually a grizzled-gray color with a cream-colored or white underside, but coloration is variable with individuals having blonde, reddish, and charcoal coat colors. Coat color does not vary between the sexes. Most coyotes have dark hairs over the back and a black-tipped tail, which has a black spot near its base covering a distinctive scent gland. However, not all coyotes have the black markings.
And of course that was him marking over the male's smell like he would in the wild, marking his territory as a warning to other males "My home, don't come in not expecting a fight".
Well at first I wasn't sure if they were foxes or coyotes.......
I seen one a few yrs ago & came closer to the house, was big & as big as our female GSD. These 2 wren't as big, but not small as a fox if a fox is the size of a cat.
The tails were short & about half way down the rear legs & bushy. Has the same face as a fox IMO.
I know we have a nice size pack as in the Winter you hear them howl, cry, & gathering. Only hear this in the winter months when real cold & always wondered about this. In the summer, I hear only the fox cries.
I've had a problem where I can't get my 1 and half year old, female GSD to relieve herself outside with ample time. She usually will go to the restroom sooner than later outside but sometimes she seems to hold it in. My past dogs have all been male and you could take them out and tell them to...
I have a 7yo white shepherd that we adopted when he was around 1. He’ll be laying down, even asleep sometimes, and then he will jump up and be terrified, shaking, tail tucked, and pressing himself against us as tight as possible. I don’t understand it at all. He is scared of loud noises, but...
I am adding a second dog (female puppy, 8 weeks) and anxious my male (3 year old, neutered) will not take to her as he is used to being the only dog. In the past he has always shown interest and been sweet to puppies, but I can't help but worry he will be jealous? I am hoping his instincts will...
I enjoy this site, I've learned alot as I read so many posts. I have a 6 month old German Shepherd. I crate her during the day during work hours. I come home every day to let her out at lunch. She never seems bothered by it. Ive never been a fan of leaving her in a crate. We have long walks in...
My husband is fed up with my white GSD. He's a lovely old soul (though not yet 2 years old) but he is a MESS. We live in a not-very-big city lot, fully fenced. He likes to dig, and to run along the fence line looking at people and other dogs. Between the dirt from digging, wear on the grass...
