But so are other canids.


Having read about the Russian fox farm experiment, I can see how selective breeding & domestication can other ride the wild. Basically, environment wins other heredity.


No one has ever attempted such an experiment with wolves, only foxes. But the basis for a sound theory is there.


You take the most docile ones & keep breeding them to make fox or wolves that are more dog like - in only a few generations.

I don't think crossing different species is a good thing nor do I think keeping an animal in captivity that lives in the wild is a good thing. I do not think it would be fair to the wolves at all. Sure maybe it can be done but that doesn't mean it is fair for the animal.
