We are in the process of building a house in a wooded area. Apparently there are many coyotes in the vicinity; the farmer at the place next door says he's given up on keeping cats because they're just "coyote food." We have two shelties. We will have some kind of fenced-in area, and we don't plan to let them just run, but when we are outside they like to be outside. They generally stick around, but if they see a deer they are gone. There's the background, now here are my questions:
1) Would a coyote go after something the size of a Sheltie? Both dogs are around 30 pounds.
2) Could a coyote get into a fenced-in area? What kind of fence would be best?
3) Is this something we would even have to worry about during daylight hours?
Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide!
