I read about this one in Smithsonian magazine more than ten years ago.

If memory serves, 30 or so years (at that time) of intensive breeding to produce more tractable sable foxes had come up with small doglike creatures, with spotted coats that were commercially worthless.

I'm not sure what, if anything, this proves but it was interesting reading.

I too remember reading how domesticating foxes was producing worthless pelts and had to laugh at the way the foxes were "fighting" back.
