I thought that breed was from dingoes or jackals or some other wild dog.
The Russian tame foxes? No, the Russians experimented with foxes to try to produce dog-like characteristics, but they didn't use any other wild species except foxes. The TV show I referred to centered on one man in Russia who was trying to come up with a tame fox breed that could do a better job than dogs at sniffing out illegal substances and explosives. His foxes or fox hybrids now patrol Russian airports.
