There was a guy in Russia who spent decades breeding foxes into pets.

At some point his funding stopped so I don't know if he succeeded in achieving his goal.

I imagine he at least got as far as breeding foxes who were less dangerous than pit bulls.

I also read about people in Russia taming foxes. I believe they said it took 8 generations of breeding the tamest ofspring to end up with a tame fox. I think they also tried breeding in the more wild direction with success.
