Yes you are right. Some of them have coyotes instead of fox. Some have both.

Pen sizes vary from training/ starting pens with Greys only being as small as 10 acres.
The large competition Pens can be as large as 1500 acres. most however will be between 200 and 600 acres in size.
They are very popular in the South and Southeast but are being fought hard by the Antis. Florida had all of theirs closed, and are just now starting to come back with very strict rules and oversite.
Go to
www.speeddogs.net and www. materfox.net where you will find many Pens advertising. You should get some good info from these two sites!
