We also have American Bulldogs.. They are a guardian breed... and known to kill coyotes... They are still used on some ranches in the south as guard/working dogs.. We use to have coyotes come up close to the house.. Not anymore... Frankie gave chase to two of them a few years ago.. Haven't seen a coyote even cross the property since that time....
