AAH, a subject close to my heart, I'm originally from the UK, so never hunted coyote's but the red fox. My suggestions would be as someone already mentioned the Wolfhound has mainly being used in the show ring and i would think a bit heavy as well. I know there were certain strains of Deer hound still used for coursing (when it was still legal )The other option is to find a greyhound or deerhound or deerhound x greyhound or a running dog with a 1/4 '; large game terrier';
To put it another way a working type deerhound should do the job but if you find a dog with a small % of terrier blood it will be all over a lot quicker once the dog catches it's prey !!!
The very best of luck, hope i have been of some help. Please feel free to e-mail me, and let me know how you get on.Which is more suited to coyote hunting. irish wolfhounds or deerhounds?

I have kept and bred Scottish Deerhounds for over 28years and showed Miss Nobles hounds
they are bred to hunt stag, they do not have the turn of foot for fox/coyote etc, a Good Lurcher is the dog your require or a gun and a good shot

an irish wolf hound because it is big and is meant to hunt wolfs and coyotes.
A .222 works best, damn .30-06 just makes to big a mess of things.
Well from my lure coursing experience the majority of Irish wolfhounds are bred for the show ring to such an extent that they are s-l-oooo-w, clumsy, not very chase motivated ect....
There are lurchers bred as coyote dogs usually with a heavly percentage greyhound blood
If you can't find such go for a lure coursing or open field coursing bred deerhound or Borzoi (and I'd bet on the Borzoi) or a LARGE grey....
Great family sport. Hope you got young kids that can watch.
i hate people who hunt coyote, I'm not against hunting but unless they are eating your livestock leave them alone. my dad hunts them and it makes me so angry
