Small Coyote

Small Coyote
What is more dangerous, a bobcat or a coyote? Will any of the attacks on my dogs?

I live on 12 acres with three dogs (golden retriever, vizla and shelty). my dogs are a kind of late and run around the forest until 9 PM. one of my dogs escaped (small) and we heard coyotes howling and fighting with something that represents the dead dog from barking we hear about the howling. but to our surprise, he returned unharmed hours later. I heard there are bobcats here, but I've never seen a bobcat or coyote. I think my vizla could take a small bobcat or coyote, but the other two a chance wouldnt. is likely that a coyote attack my pet in the forest if they can find easy food sources such as pork and turkey?

Well, First of all coyotes are dogs and cats I do not I worry too much about it. My aunt had three different dogs run for years in its 240 acres and never had a problem with coyotes and dogs. Coyotes usually hunt small mammals (ie mice, rats, rabbits, etc) or eat carrion. The same goes for the Wildcats, usually eat small mammals. Some attack larger mammals, but only when desperate. The Sheltie probably should not run, as it is about the right size for both predators, but the other two should be fine. My aunt had a Jack Russell terrier running around his farm and is very good, but is more of a risk to dogs small. Your gold and Britain never had problems with coyotes, however.
