A odd question with the jackal in mind.
Has anyone used North American coyote or fox ?
Could any domestic dog hair be used ?
I have access to a family Shepard who clings to me when I brush her.

Hey knotnot,

What about cats. I have a bunch of nice grizzly coloured cats running around and I've thought a few times of borrowing some.
It's all good
Tie with whatever you want.
No rules!
I have used cat intsead of rabbit for dubbing.
Various dog for streamer wings.
Little wee birds the cat brought home.
Ducks you probably have never heard of.
Mystery hair and fur from the flea market.
Give er'.

You said "No Rules"
Well my mom almost shot me for trimming her german shep's tail.
Kinda like being in grade school again.
I also snuck some strands from a stuffed animal.
Look what you started.......

Alternatives...
You have opened a good can of worms...here are a few FLY names that come to mind;;
Sheba,Golden Retreiver,Pubic Parachute(ouch), Ethels revenge, and more
The Ethels Revenge is actually a fabulously tied Atlantic Salmon Pattern now using White Synthetic hair from Hair wigs bought at Haloween. This fly has caught me many Coho off the beaches here on the Island. This fly was originally tied from Bob Huthinson's wife's white hair...she really didn't like it, concidering he called the pattern after her hair??!! This guy BTW is a master....Lives in Ireland 1/2 the year and in Tahasis the other(seeking those big Coho off the Kelp beds).
