A Cross-Bred Coyote - Poodle Hybrid Would Be Called What?

These are supposedly wolf-poodle hybrids



These are wolf-Labrador hybrids that looked cute so I'm posting them.

Prohibited States

Private ownership of wolf hybrids is illegal in some states.

These are Alaska, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Wyoming.

Zoos, educational institutions, circuses and other organizations are often exempt, but permits are not issued to private citizens.

As for the name, back to the drawing board; none of the above roll off the tongue. Poodle is fun to say and should be in there somewhere.

I know, killjoy, but to me it's just wrong and is done for the amusement of the breeders and for money.

It was heartbreaking.

The owner of the lab found homes for most of the pups. Her two puppies never ran free. Ten long years. The wolf genes were dominate in appearance and behavior. They were well fed and when they weren't in her home (on a leash) for the night they were kept in a pen made of chain-link fencing on the top and sides. They had a specially built shelter.

But, in my opinion, it just wasn't right.

...how much I loath those awful "mash-up" breed names (like "labradoodle," etc.).

We somehow got on the topic of those names, and I started to ponder what would happen if you had a cross-bred Coyote/Poodle mix. I came up with those three names. I half expected to hear someone actually knew a technically correct answer.
