Good question.  Do Pyrs have an innate sense to what is "wild" or a predator 
might be some reason. Historically the breed is acknowledged to have a very 
innate sense of what persons are dangerous, I always felt this extended to 
animals as well.  They are reported over and over to have a feel for when 
danger is about.  Do we know for sure that a Pyr has bred with a coyote or 
wolf while working?  I know it may be difficult to really know, but lets 
start there.  I guess my question more specifically is are coydogs, part Pyr 
from a full blooded Pyr, while working known in fact.
