anyone ever had a pet coyote?

A few years back a guy on Monster Muleys (ShowMeYourRack) found a pup and kept it. He posted pics and stories about it for a few weeks. Not sure if he still has it or not, I highly doubt it.

Afriend had one he used to train his dogs on so they would chase cats not coyotes. He would put food in it;s pen and it would;nt eat until everyone was gone.

Many of my Gov. trapper friends have a coyote on site almost all year long for the collection of urine and droppings and such( Bait sites) . I have been told that they can be (somewhat) domesticated but tend to be a one person animal , and eventally turn in time .

  He was busted for having it (Illegal, just like here in WA). Nothing too big, was fined and the dog was taken and put down.

When I was a kid, some of the ranchers had hybrids. I remember one particular one that was a blue-healer/yote hybrid.

That was one hyper dog. Jumped on you all the time, but was generally always happy to see you.

Don't have a clue what happened in the long run.....that alone would make the decision for me.

I just don't see the "Right" of it, to try to raise a dog, just to eventually have to put it down, usually in the prime of its life.

I could see the "hard" side of it. If I shot a female yote on my property, then found the pups, and they were very small, and told the wife, we would probably be either raising them, or taking them to a vet that handles wild animls, or the smart thing-destroying them.

I remember the one time I went to the "zoo" that was in Spokane. "Walk in the Wild". They had a pair of coyotes there....and as the wife and I were walking by the coyote pen, I could tell they weren't "wild", so I reached into the pen, and petted them.

 Wife was freaked, but you tell me this, if these were wild, or even if they Imprint on ONE person, then why were these dogs so tame??? They just seamed overjoyed to have SOMEBODY give them some attention, just like pups in a pet store.

Never had one as a pet but I have "pet" hundreds of them with my rifle.

  I know a guy in Idaho that had one, he kept it in a pen inside a building to collect the urine. I thought it was sorta cruel.

My dad always told me that he had one back in the day. said you take a piece of barbed wire stick it in a den until you feel something squishy and twist so it gets caught in their puppy fur and drag them out, as long as you get them before their eyes open you can tame them. hope an adult doesn't come home to find you doin this to their pups.

That's crazy. I figured something like that happened.
