What type of print is this?

Judging from the size of the oak leaf, i'm thinking wolf.

coyote or dog

Previous posters are correct in saying canine. Odds are that its a big dog.

I think it's too round in overall shape to be a coyote--I vote for domestic dog.

In the second picture there looks to be 2 different sizes of prints. I'd say 2 different domestic dogs.

looks like either BIG dog or wolf

Dogs leave more than 2 nail prints in their tracks! It has all the markings of a big dog.

you got your calves....

the birds I got from you are doing wonderful...A friend of ours brought over a nice Cochin Rooster for the girls...

Do you think this is the same thing that was there before....If it was I would more than likely think possible wolf...It didn't look like your neighbors would have wondering dogs, and I don't remember if you had a dog or not......so I would really think wolf....
oh, yeah....might need to get a bigger cage now to trap the bugger that took some of your birds...don't think it'll fit in the cage you have set out...lol

good luck on figuring out for sure what it is....
hopefully your animals will all be ok...

If you have tracks where the animal was moving -
a domestic dog has an amazingly sloppy stride.
a wolf or coyote will have a very clean stride, and some pawprints will naturally fall right on top of another pawprint as part of the gait.

You might be able to google up some images of the strides and pawprint "registration". I have this in a book on animal tracking.
