The coyotes used to be the size here of a large sheltie.  Now they are MUCH
bigger (small shepherd).  I think they bred here to a dog--a few years ago
there was a coyote with a shorter coat and blue merle markings running
about.  I have not seen him in several years, but I wonder if this has
helped to increase size.  My cat population is up right now, but I have been
loosing very "ranch aware" cats.  We also do not currently have a working
Pyr.
