      I’ve heard their scenting is pretty unpleasant.

        This is true, you might have to breed for that.

          Even the great arctic fox experiment couldn’t seem to breed that out.

            Curious, I looked it up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_silver_fox

            It was done in the 50-90s. So I think we should take another stab at it, now that we know more science!

              They also lost their ‘musky fox smell’."[6]

              From the wiki. So seems like they did breed that out?

              That’s news to me. But it’s probably been over a decade since I last looked into it. At one point they were even selling domesticated foxes to people as pets but were warning about their scenting. Thanks for the update!

      Shiba Inu’s are kinda close, and a lot less loud and smelly. They’re like dogs with cat software.

        I want a dog to care about me more than I think they do. But their facial expressions almost make up for it.

          That would be pretty much any dog, really.

    This is funny, because I just read something the other day that said we started out by domesticating foxes

      I swear a scientist in Russia already domesticated foxes once.

    This is probably, in the long term, a bad thing. But damn if I don’t want a pet fox, raccoon, and capybara. 😍
