Is the Russian domesticated fox a meme?
>>
Depends on how you want to look at it. It's pretty much domesticated, but is it something to be a mainstream pet? Maybe not.

If it's domesticated, how come only a small number are made in a secret Russian lab?

I don't know, maybe no-one with ability to be a proper breeder or run a company has gotten interested. Quick Google gives a company called SibFox Inc.

>Unfortunately, the experiment is broke. Grant money is scarce in Russia, where economic crises hit in 1998 and again in 2008. Trut has resorted to selling some of the foxes into the exotic pet trade through SibFox Inc., a private company in Las Vegas. For $6,950, the U.S. distributor promises a tame four-month-old fox “delivered to your door in 90 days.”

>Is Sibfox.com a scam?
>Well, they're not a scam - they're just a very poorly run operation (in my opinion.) ... I mean, I think he really only has 2 breeding pairs, and although they are from the Russian experiment, they aren't getting any of the variety that is mentioned from the original experiment.

Who knows.

They're adorable is what they are

Foxes from the experiment are sterilized before being sold in order to prevent gene pool contamination, so I don't know how this guy could have acquired a breeding pair.

The only person [in the US] who legally imports those particular foxes from Russia is Kay Fedewa. The lolcow from deviantart a few years back. Check her website for details.
