Welcome!
Coyote Run is the kennel name of Deb Eldredge and Kate Basedow. Deb first became involved with the Belgian Tervuren in 1985, when she brought home Starbright Extra Innings "Wile E. Coyote." The rest, as they say, is history. Kate was born into the fancy and hopes to always have Belgians in her life!
As well as Tervs, we have shared our lives with several other breeds. All of our dogs train and compete in a wide variety of dog sports, mostly through the American Kennel Club but in others as well.

Why Coyote?Coyotes have played an important role in North America for many years. They play a central part in many Native American myths with the coyote as a clever trickster and a survivor. In reality, coyotes are extremely adaptable, capable of surviving and thriving under a wide range of conditions and always using their great brains. They are an important part of our ecology, including wonderful rodent control.
Our connection of Belgian Tervuren and coyotes goes back to Deb's first Terv, Starbright Extra Innings. Her husband took one look at him and decided he was Wile E. Coyote from the cartoons. The name stuck, starting Deb's tradition of naming her male Tervs after cartoon characters - Beep (for Beep Beep the Roadrunner), Hokey (for Hokey Wolf from the old Yogi Bear cartoons), and Doc (as in, "What's up Doc?" from Bugs Bunny). The bitches have escaped the cartoon theme, at least for now. |
