Hollie 21 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I found this on Wikipedia, not sure how true it is and couldn't find any pics to support the written evidence. [edit] Dog-fox hybrids There are no reliable reports or genetic testing that proves the exisistence of dog-fox hybrids (called dox) although there are many unsubstantiated reports of such hybrids. An unconfirmed female terrier/fox hybrid was reported, and later euthanized (killed), in the UK. British gamekeeper folklore claims that terrier bitches can produce offspring with male foxes. Other dog breeds claimed to have hybridized with foxes are the Alaskan Malamute, Sheltie, Siberian husky, and most of the hound groups. The supposed hybrids (known as a dox) are likely to be natural variation in the domestic dog. There has been a reported cross between a domestic dog and a South American fox, but the fox was a fox-like wolf, known as the maned wolf, and not a true fox. In Saskatchewan, Canada there was another supposed dox, this time a female miniature Sheltie with a wild fox. There was a litter of three, but only one survived. The surviving (a female) was barren, and looked like an almost pure fox, with slight variations. However, the variability of dogs in appearance makes it impossible to determine whether an animal is hybrid based on looks. In most reported cases the dox had gold or yellow eyes, wired hair, and with black red and gray hairs covering most of the body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
