secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 all domestic animals where wild once upon a time. i wonder why the ears changed as pups/cubs? where they selectively breeding the friendliest ones? if not it goes to show how much influence the parents behavior has on their young. It was a Russian experiment to reduce the cost of raising foxes in fur farms, ie let some dotty old women raise them for you and then bang, end of pet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
