Seems to me they should be able to rent any animal they wanted. An actual coyote in California would probably be easier to come by IMO. Guess we will just have to wait and see It's only easier to come by in California if you're looking for wild animals.

Coyotes are much much much harder to train -- to the point where even trying to domesticate a coyote is illegal in several states. (Even domesticated coydogs are illegal in some states.) So, even if you were to find a trained coyote to use on your TV show, chances are the cost of using it would be astronomically higher than using an animal that looks similar -- you have to pay the trainers to be on set, you have to pay for the use of the animal, you have to pay insurance which I have no doubt is WAY higher for an animal as dangerous as that.
