Fennec foxes, which pose their own challenges as indoor animals, make for less hair-pullingly frustrating pets. There are better alternatives to red foxes for one who is determined to own a fox, provided it is legal in their state. Many owners of indoor red foxes have to make permanent alterations to their home to accommodate this. Red foxes have high energy levels and can be destructive. All red foxes have very smelly urine, and most owners keep them partially or fully outdoors due to this. Red foxes may be friendly, but there's more to owning them than that. They make challenging pets for most people, especially if you are expecting the behavior of "biddable" dog breeds. It is probable that the Russian foxes, given being derived from a strict breeding program for tameness, would have better "pet quality" as they were described by the researchers to uniquely seek out human attention, but all of these animals are still foxes, and potential owners should not expect dramatic differences between them. Even fur farm animals that are not specially-bred Russian foxes can be docile and "dog-like".
