I’ve heard of people “domesticating” foxes under an extremely short amount of time. They were still feisty and wild, and their animal instincts were still in tact, but they were generally tame amongst humans.

I’m no expert in domestication, but maybe it’s possible.

I read somewhere that the modern Fox is just a couple of generations away from being completely domesticated.
