Crazy fast hunting dogs running down and killing coyotes

The coyote is getting it the same way the yotes do it to other animals. I like that.
Huh, pretty brutal, but no different than anything else in nature.
There is a bunch of guys in southern Idaho running greyhounds on yotes. Fucking brutal to watch in person. No fucks given, don’t get me wrong. One bitch dog was the leader, real killer instinct. Scary once she saw a coyote. Otherwise, she wants to sit in your lap and be petted softly. Dogs are amazing!!
I have a 1 year old mini dox that never leaves my side. Always watching, full alert. Ain’t nothing ever sneaking up on me. Just a solid muscle, too. Once it’s night night time and I kennel her, she’s out for the count, work is done for the day. She snores like a freight train sometimes. Love my dogs! They don’t live long enough to not spoil the shit out of them.
My old grandad had a buddy/neighbor who would come over once in a while with a 6 pack of cold beer. You have to say cold beer right to understand. He had a pair of Airdales. Super chill dogs. Trained to herd cows. They’d just lay around with my grandads healer dog. They were old friends, dogs included. Evening would come on and the yotes would sound off. All 3 dogs would alert. Then, once in a while, yotes are close enough when they started singing that all 3 would silently get up and wander off. A few minutes later you would hear the killing going on. They literally tore the coyotes apart. Gruesome find the next morning. But the coyotes also never ate any of the farm cats or chickens.

I've seen dogos/hunting dogs on boar - but not coyotes. Interesting. This pack action is identical to wild dog (more endangered than African lions) hunts - they basically tag team their prey in a relay until exhaustion - then death by the pack ripping it apart in under a few minutes (unlike suffocation used by the big cats). TBH I usually have to turn down the volume watching their kills. Wild dogs have an 80% success rate on their hunts vs. 20-30% for big cats.
^(first hunt was an impala, second was a scrub hare)

Seems like a few guys holding different positions with an auto loading rifle would be more efficient no?
Still fucking awesome that these dogs are are putting in some brutal work.

We used to run coyote hounds, a good chase is more fun than any amount of shooting. I'll dig up some pics from a few years ago when we started hunting again with some local guys.
My mom had an Uncle that raised greyhounds to hunt coyotes, this was back in the early 60's..........
Love watching dogs work. You can see their smile ear to ear riding in that truck
My cousin's in Saskatchewan did this for a short while. Greyhounds crossed with Irish wolf hounds.
Pretty savage. They had 3 of them, and the idea was that one dog would be the "runner", one the "tripper" and one the "killer". The idea was that one would run the coyote and tire it out, the "tripper" would come in from an angle and knock it's front legs out to get it on the ground, and the "killer" would come in and go for the throat/neck.
However it never worked that cleanly, all 3 dogs seemed to want to partake in all 3 separate duties. And my cousin's and uncle would jump in to kill the coyote with a hammer, so the dogs didn't get too injured as the coyote fought back. Pretty brutal stuff.
The dogs were really sweet to humans, but would literally chase anything else that had a heartbeat. Not very desirable for a farm
so they eventually got rid of them.

My heeler mixes would absolutely love to get their hands on some coyotes. They go to straight hunt mode whenever they see them, and my one dog is an absolute straight up killer. No doubt she would make short work of a coyote if she got her jaws on one. She's absolutely as sweet as could be, but just loves to kill things. The one is a natural born killer.
My wife's friends have a family farm that's protected by Great Pyrenees, and those things literally have a graveyard for all their coyote kills. They will kill the coyotes and drag them to a dumping ground somewhere on the property.
Both amazing and horrific at the same time.
It reminded me I haven't watched any rat videos in a while. lol

Pound for pound, a coyote can whip a same size dog and is much more athletic. I know, you have a pitbull that would disprove my theory, but like I said, pound for pound.
Some varmint callers use a bait dog that will lure an alpha male yote in and we're not talking about your wife's poodle but big, stout catch dogs. There's one video where a varmint caller calls in a big male coyote, the bait dog, which was some type of mastiff mix and the coyote met, the bait dog which was bigger, well fed and muscled up with a thick protective collar, threw the coyote down and had it by it's throat. That would have been the end of it in a dog on dog fight but the coyote, it's tail wagging the whole time, managed to work it's way back on it's feet and proceeded to whip that bait dog.
You couldn't help but root for the underdog coyote. The dog and coyote ended up chasing each other around, almost like they had a mutual respect and were playing until the hunter yelped and shot the coyote which was chickenshit. That coyote deserved better. I like coyotes, and I used to be trapper.

If you have a couple of trained ratting dogs and a couple of trained mink, and they get along with each other, bye bye rodent infestation of any kind. Not a fan of poisons in circumstances when far better tools for the job is provided by nature and accessible. These videos are absolutely amazing. Saw several where a whole farm and a commercial storage facility was cleared of rodents in just two days... In Indonesia, otters are trained and raised for the same purpose.
When I worked on the UU Bar one of the hands, Clyde Malone, had a pack of Greyhounds for running down coyotes. One meaner than hell female was the kill dog and he would release her once the others had it down. He would haul ass across a pasture until he got close then would release the dogs. Needless to say I welded lots of that truck together from him bumping across a pasture. Clyde was from Ulysses, KS and meaner than his dogs and not a good person to mess with. He had taken his wife to KS for some medical treatment and Harvey Villareal and myself had to feed the dogs when he was gone. We would open up the gate just far enough to throw the food in the pen since there was no way we were going in there with them.
Still a few that run hounds here but not like there used to be.
A lot of it I think is it's just getting too expensive.
You really got to love it.
I even seen a fairly new pickup with aluminum dog box the other day.
Way different than the rigs they used to run.
Out here it is too rough to see them like in the OP's video.
They use planes as spotters and direct them towards the coyotes.
I had a friend give me one for a pet, coolest most laid back dog (unless they are on a coyote)
Here they usually had catch (the fastest) and kill (the biggest meanest albeit a bit slower) dogs
As intimidating as they can be, I never saw one that was mean to people.
Some didn't seek out human attention but they weren't really mean.
This was Ace

My Heelers have been straight up killers of anything that braved the space inside my fences. That said my brother in law has a Great Pyrenees pair in with his goats and they are an instant change from kids' lap dogs to devastatingly violent in a split second with any threat.....then back to playing in the sand box with the kids.
