We run grey fox, red fox and some bobcats.... running coyotes are treated like running deer in my pack, a big no no.
Perk,
How hard has been to break em off the yotes and still run fox. I know dogs that fox can be broke of yotes for the most part, i have one that’s been pretty good not running a yote. I know some others have had hard times with it.
It's like breaking off anything, the quicker u correct the better off you are. Some are hard headed, some aren't as hard headed. I tend to like dogs that break easy and most of what I raise (knock in wood), seems to be eager to please easy to break off bad game. The ones my buddies and i have out of stock we hunted for years seem easier to break than the ones from other stock, got a couple triggs that are hard headed but young. They wanna run something! I have several that come fund me when it's off game, when they start showing up in path looking at me, it's time to shock no questions asked. I. Hunt with a buddy who has a few more that aren't broke off yotes that me, but when mine show up r a frw of his older ones, we start correcting.

Perk there are still a few guy's that are pure diehards as far as the fox are concerned . We are so over run with coyotes the fox don't stand a chance . We kind of switched over to yotes for more opportunity . Probably mostly due to laziness on our part to break them . LOL
Plenty of guys around virginia North Carolina and south carolina gave in to running them too. Im just not one of those guys, when I gotta run them I will prob move or quit
