Real short story. Coyotes in these parts are bold and regularly include dog as part of their high protein diet. Six months ago a pack of four took our neighbors dog.
Brisco has during the last year chased several and raises holy hell when they are near our house. For the past several days my wife told me after all this happened, he was trying to get into the barn which is closed Nov-April just holding lawn and garden stuff and some unused horse stalls.
Yesterday I got home from work and walked into the yard and he made a bee line to the barn. Tried to crawl under door. I figured there was a mouse or something and just opened the bottom half of one door. He ran in like a bullet.Diving into something and knocking it back against the barn door on the opposite side. For a second I thought it was a a big coon or a dog. They were rolling around kicking up dirt and I couldn't tell what the hell was going on but it looked something awful. The Barn was dark and full of dust and dirt and then I saw something dive to get under the gate to the horse stall and even faster Brisco grabbed its back leg and dragged it back out. I could see now it was definitly a coyote he was getting bit and I was running around like I had one foot nailed to the floor. Couldn't find anything to help and truth be told I really didn't want to get too close. At one point he snatched it up high on the neck or head and started slamming and shaking and dragging that I guess that was pretty much all she wrote. Ran back to the house and came back with an equalizer but it was over. He had a bunch of punctures the worst on his muzzle and nose . Cleaned it of with peroxide and went to the vet. I was little worried because the coyote looked like it had mange.
I hear a lot about wooling but when I took him back to the barn after the vet he just sniffed around and wasn't much interested.

One again, an example of the difference between an airedale and and AIREDALE TERRIER. Briscoe is not what anyone would call a big airedale and there are hunting lines out there that won't grab a smaller coyote and they hunt regularly. Briscoe has never been used on fur but he is a terrier. Jumper gave him two thumbs up also ;D ;D. I think she likes his attitude. She said she has her eye on Briscoe, Ed. She keeps trying her schutzhund bite on me lately. Mainly coming up and grabbing me by the back of the thigh. It does smart but I can't stop her because she is having so much fun because she wants me to chase her.

Brisco is 60 lbs. He is Schutzhund trained and pretty good at it. I estimate the coyote 35 to 40 lbs. The coyote looked bigger than he carried.

If a 60 lb Airedale (how old?) that hasn't been trained to handle dangerous game (I assume) can take out a 35 to 40 lb coyote (buzzsaw) in short order with minimal damage, then what could an 85 lb "Stagdale" handle in short order? Well, proportionally, at least a 50 to 57 lb coyote. But then, one would expect a little higher standard of killing power out of the "Stagdales", like same performance on a 55 to 65 lb coyote. What d'ya think?
I have to wonder, how much does my "speed" staghound take away from the kill power? How much speed does Geronimo take away from Sheba? And, how old will the Airedale Lurcher pups need to be to start seriously running? To be entered to game that bites back? Ah, the anticipation!!!
