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

  It was done in the 50s. So I think we should take another stab at it!

    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!

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