If I had 3+ dogs running together I would have a dog pack that in this location would probably go way too far and get themselves in trouble. I haven't enough area to serve as territory for 3 dogs of any breed that tends to run. I find that one dog can be taught to stay home a lot easier than multiple dogs can.
I'm not worried about coyote hunting the dog as prey. I'm worried that if she came across a hunting pack she would try to chase them off, and a whole pack would be too much for her. Our local coyote seem to run around her size (she's about 50 lb), larger than the western version.
As I have no livestock, the coyote themselves are a beneficial for me: I'm sure they eat lots of mice and rabbits.
