I woke up to my 2 year old gsp and my girlfriends lab going crazy barking and growling at 2am, we were staying at her dads place out in oso and he has some property and so the dogs have access in and out of the place with a doggy door on the back door of the house so when they started going crazy I knew I should see what they were barking at, by the time I made it to the front door the dogs were already launching themselves out of the back door and as soon as I opened the door I saw my gsp chasing the coyote out of the yard and across the street ( private gravel road so very few cars go by)
I was not worried till I saw my dog actually gaining on the coyote
I know my dog is a very fast runner but had no Idea he was fast enough to catch up to a coyote.
the main reason it worried me is that coyotes will do that exact thing to try to lead a dog into a ambush and attack them with the rest of the pack and even if it was one on one my gsp is far from a fighting kind of dog,
so none the less the doggy door will me locked at night till I can hopefully take down some of those coyotes I think since its close quarters the 3 1/2 in magnum buckshot should do the trick
