Behavior-based breeding... new market for the Russian domestic foxes? 
My favorite was that we saw a black bear in our yard... reported it to the DNR... they thought we were full of BS. Days later, news reports of black bears returning to Ohio. XD
I don't THINK I did it twice... but I was so little... hard to tell. LOL

I would love it so much if they did an experiment like that in the United States (and then to keep it going sold foxes off as pets just like the Russian experiment). Especially if they did it with grey foxes ^_^ I remember reading somewhere once that they are supposed to be easier to domesticate...no idea how they'd know that considering no one has REALLY tried though.
LOL! I think right now there's something like that going on in Oregon? Only with a mountain lion spotting (that'll be hard to find a mountain lion though, they're so darned illusive).

Exotic pet breeders. They are supposedly tamer by nature and easier to deal with than the reds. Arctics are supposed to be the worst. There are exotic breeders claiming their foxes are domestic when they really haven't been bred for tameness in the same way, or at least not for as many generations as the Russian foxes have.
Oh, that's true. I'd love to see exotic pet breeders actually take on a large breeding project to get genetically tame exotics out there. Wouldn't that be an awesome collaboration?
