I've been reading about these guys and wondering what it would be like to have one for years, although I hadn't thought about it in a while and should catch up on the most recent information. I think that it's more complicated than "getting dogs bred from foxes" unless you think of "cats" as "dogs bred from wildcats." :) But I agree that you're not getting wild foxes, and many of the things we prize about foxes are tied up in their wildness. I'm curious why you would be cross with me, beyond what you've already said --- that you'd be cross with me matters but it would be great to have more information.

I guess that, for all that I talk a good game about being animal, I'm fundamentally a domesticated creature, and I like to share my space with other domesticated creatures. My tongue is only three quarters in cheek when I say that the idea of meeting another domesticated fox with a very different background is intriguing to me.
