Best Answer

Members of the Canidae family are called canid and include dogs, wolves, foxes, coyotes, dingoes, jackals, and lycaons. The Canidae family is divided into the "true dogs" (or canines) of the tribe Canini and the "foxes" of the tribe Vulpini. The two species of the basal Caninae are more primitive and don't fit into either tribe. Any member of this family can be referred to generally as a canid.

A fox is neither a dog nor a cat.

A "dog fox" is not a dog-fox hybrid, but a male fox.

Foxes are canids, like dogs, but foxes are a separate species.
