Can a fox be domesticated?

In: Foxes, Exotic Farm Animals [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes, a fox can be domesticated. Scientists have proved that you can domesticate a fox. The result of 60 years of experiments in Russia, they successfully domesticated the silver fox. Which is a silver morph of a red fox. Not only has the fox been more tamer, it is also more dog-like as well. It will droop its ears like a dog and way tail when happy. It has also made more dog like barks.
