What do you think?
Too small and slow?
She sure does like to track and retrieve but I am guessing she is just not fast enough to get back to me with a coyote in tow. Might get lucky a few times but sooner or later she might get ambushed by a coyote or a pair.

I could keep her in close cause she minds good ....but....
 
using a dog as lure, the dog will have to defend itself at sometime and the cocker will get chewed and probably get killed. it happens don't use a a dog that isn't real aggressive and has lots of big shiny teeth
 
Varmintal (varmintal.com) takes his lab out with him on a leash. He says the dog spots lots of movement he might have missed so it is still a good idea to take your Cocker, just keep her leashed up.

Having the dog on a leash will still draw coyotes in.I have an older dog that doesn't range far and often times coyotes will come in with the dog just sitting beside me.
