I’m pretty sure my dog killed it and ate it because I don’t know why else a skull of a carnivore would be present in my backyard close to my chicken pen.

it’s wrapped in a net. My dog tends to hide her bones in hay and any net I have laying on the floor (I know I really should pick up a bit).

Any ideas what animal skull this belongs to?

I don’t see any fur or other bones in my yard, but she could have left it out in a field and only brought back that head.

I just remembered that she did lose her collar a while ago, but I figured it got stuck on a fence since she likes crawling under them. Guess I’ll drive around to see if I see anything.

So she killed another dog?!?!

Hopefully she just found a dead dog and ate it. Oh dear. I will go deworm her and check around the property if I see other remains.

I figured it was a coyote or fox.

Thanks everyone!

Canine is dog family including coyote, fox, domestic dog, wolf etc. Can you measure the skull? How wide and how long in inches? Looks like its been dead for a while.

Definitely not a fox and looks too slender to be a coyote. That's a heavy, almost bear-like skull, but looks very canine. So unless the angle on your photos is way off, it really looks like a mastiff/bully-type dog skull to me.
