Rottweiler saves Chi-Weenie from Coyote

[jhood001]

Saw this and it kind of made my day so I thought I would share.

Coyote grabs a small dog (Chihuahua + Weiner Dog? No idea) and starts to move out with his lunch when a neighbor's Rottweiler decides he's not letting his little homie go out like that.

Very cool!

My Rott had a hatred of coyotes too.

My wife is always worried about our dog (and our last dog) with the coyotes in our neighborhood here. Granted, they are some trophy coyotes, absolutely gigantic (at least 30-40% bigger than any I have bagged out hunting). But they still aren't going to win against an 80lb boxer/lab mix unless they bring a big old pack. I've only ever seen one or two, and while they do dig/climb fences, between the fence and the size difference, I'd expect to find a dead coyote or two if they ever breached his perimeter. That or I'd hear the scuffle and definitely have a dead coyote or two with a few extra holes in them.

Now wolves... those bitches are a completely different story. Luckily we don't get them here in town.

Also, at the end of that clip, it looks like the rottie is gaining on that 'yote. That may have been the last lunch that boy ever tried to catch.

Nice save by the Rottie!

That coyote was fast on the attack!

GOOD PUP!
That rotty wasn't playing around. I had an Akita Rotty mix that was fiercely protective of my shep rotty mix.

I think the ones around town are inbred....the ones I'd see in Aurora were huge and ragged looking too, but generally only 2-3 roaming together.

Cool video.

Cool vid. My dogs (and my wife's quick thinking) saved my wife and daughter from a coyote attack a couple months ago. She was walking the dogs (we have 5) with her little sister and our daughter and a coyote started to stalk them in our neighborhood, near a green belt that runs through it. Her sister saw the yote first, told my wife, and she charged at the yote with our 2 pits and started screaming at it. The bastard took off as soon as she started charging it with the pits in tow.

Yeah. If some lady with two pit bulls started screaming at me and chasing me I'd run away like the wind, too!

No pits needed...fu** that noise!

[Bailey Guns]

Yeah...good point.

My pit went after a couple that got through the fence at the dog park one night... There were just a few of us... my pit, and two little mutts that were probably about 20# between them both. My boy quit playing w/ the little dogs and started staring towards the fence/slight downgrade along the creek... he started belly crawling really slow towards this huge clump of over grown weeds. 10' away he went full out into it.. took one yote down, spun around to get the other that darted back towards the fence and barely missed it before turning his attention to the one that was trying to run away. The people w/ the little dogs haven't been back since. He celebrated by rolling in poop.. not happy about that part. He disengaged when he was called, celebrated in poop (not sure if it was the yote poop or not) worst ride home ever. It's pretty entertaining to see him getting owned by dogs 1/3 his size to taking on a pair of Coyotes. He corned a fox in the back yard once as a pup, had to get the hose out to get him to back down. Pretty sure the fox still comes in the yard and poops.. they have a competition going I think.. Wouldn't be surprised to find him cuddled up with it one night..

My wife can be pretty scary. I have trained her well...

[TheGrey]

I had no idea coyotes were that fast!
God thing that little guy had a great big buddy. That Rott was NOT fooling around!

I'm glad the coyotes that I've seen in the neighborhood are the slinky, scraggamuffin kind.

...although three days ago, a mountain lion was seen eating a stray cat, one block over from our home. Dammit.

"Sneak..sneak...runrunrunrun GOTCHA! Om nom nom you're going to be tasty....hey, what's that OHSHIT RUNAWAY RUNAWAY RUNAWAY!"

[mrghost]

We have a Chiweenie (as far as we can tell) and an Australian cattle dog mix and I can see this scenario playing out the same way. I'm glad the video doesn't have audio because if their Chiweenie is like ours, it would be screaming bloody murder and tough to listen to. The ACD mix has gotten a bit bigger since the pic attached.
