They'll lose all the things that make them lovable if you do that. Domesticated Russian fox breeds already have small, floppy ears and shorter snouts.

I'm pretty sure it's a combination of it being really hard and not really worth it, at least for people willing to fund research. They aren't pack animals like wolves were that allowed us to domesticate them into dogs, so it's a lot harder to selectively breed them to be friendlier and more dependent on us. And we also already have dogs, so it's hard to justify giving domesticating foxes for no real benefit, as nice as it would be to have domesticated fox pets. There was the whole russian thing, and I think the farthest it went was getting foxes that are kinda neutral to humans, as opposed to wild foxes that are really avoidant to humans.
also this >>5144170 , some things are just super hard to breed out of an animal

>>5144165
why don't we just breed them to have longer snouts and sharper ears, are we stupid?

Cats have furr and dogs are good for protection. Deer don't really provide much outside eating grass. Goats/Cows mostly produce milk where horses carry shit. Deer wouldn't have been worth it unless they could be milked.

How much could the domestication process be streamlined by gene editing? Like couldn't they just remove the piss stink and hyper active genes from foxes?

Whatever happened to that program in Russia that was supposed to create domesticated foxes through artificial selection?
>>
>>5144195
that's really not how gene editing works, for one it's really hard to identify what strings of dna do what for an animal, for another you can't really remove them easily, or usually at all
if you heard otherwise i can promise the process was a heavily simplified explanation

Also a shit idea.
We already can't deal with cats and dogs over breeding.
Shelters are full and nobody wants to take responsibility.
There's enough competition among pets to find homes without adding more.

The lead researchers on the domestic silver fox program died and funding dissipated after the USSR collapsed. They still exist, but they're all stuck in a farm in Russia and there's zero signs of them being exported anywhere else in the near future.
