Might be. We'll soon -know- and I'll try to be the first to tell 'em too. :)

Coyotes come in the yard every night lately.

My Border terrier (wheaten, black face like "Something About Mary") I have now was raised 5 years in a house in Portland OR ...not outside on a ranch, fending for himself against at least 35 coon hounds (lion and bear dogs) let alone all the others, like Harry was.

He's more like Harry than any dog we've ever seen but he doesn't know what Harry knew. Took my new Border terrier over a year not to let the loose neighbor dogs and coyotes "grab him back". :) Heck, there for a while I thought he was going to get killed before learning that. :/ He's got it now tho, whew. :) There was no other way to teach 'em. :/

One of his traits, that I learned within a couple days of getting him... he bites and tears a 5/8" to 3/4" long hole, in the same place, high on a guy's calf, through his jeans, making it bleed enough that even with soaking into his sock, will still run down into his boot... just like good ol' Harry would. ;)

Only Harry's off-spring did that too, all other little dogs would grab the javelina's (or guy's) ankle. Not very effective. :/

In 10 to 15 minutes, Harry would have a boar javelina leaving a blood trail even dumb-s*it like me could follow. :)

Harry was -the best- javelina-grabber in the state of Arizona and I ain't kiddin'bout that. :) If Larry Harley's "knife only boar hunt" would have been a few years earlier Harry would have shown 'em what he could do with them big hogs too. :) If you doubt any of that, you just haven't got Harry pictured quite right. ;) He couldn't help it, he was bred to be the way he was, (the world's best breed of?) a "feisty feist". :)

Same border the Border Collie came from. ;)

Alvin in AZ (I'm into dogs can you tell?;) ps- don't have any use for non-hunting dogs like pitbulls etc :/
