The number of foxes entirely un- fit. for fundamental breeding has reached alarming proport-lons. Of all the breeding foxes throughout the counuy, through promiscuous breeding methods, probably ninety percent will not. lead to any mark- ed improvement. But what is worse still wltn such lnferfor foxes, 1n- ferfor types will be produced 1n successive generations. As long as such a. condition nerslsts there ls bound to be a lack of high-class silver foxes and the market wlll be flooded with pelts of a very Infer- for quality.

In this paper u. schedule of fun- damental matings is given that. can be carried out. with four fam- ilies, which is the least number requlred for any progressive im- provement. It wttll be seen from this schedule that. with four families, four lines of foxes om be built up 1n three dlferent ways, making four distinct lines and twelve lilies that differ in funda- mental respects. Some of the lines will undoubtedly be inferior to the others and ft Ls questionable ff lt would be worth wlille trying maintain such a separate line. It ls for the fox breeders themselves to Judaic which lines shall be con- centrated on. Al: the same time it; is advlsabe f0 carry out. as many lines as possible. In many cases foxes cannot be inbred to any marked extent. therefore ff. ls 1m- posslbfr to establish a separate lfne from them, yet. when used as an outcross they will improve other lines. Selection will p‘ay an lm- portant part. with regard to the establishment of any llne of foxes. Constitutional vigour, particularly size, strength and density of fur are the chief requisites fn selecting the foxes that will form the main backbone for each particular line.

Outcrosslng

In the valn hope to obfnln l herd oif’ large foxes ft has been a very wide raeflce for fox breeders fto mate time males. obtained from n favourable outeross. with selected lame females, products of another OUUfIOS. independent of whether the foxes are being inbred or out- crossed. As a consequence there has been a ivholeslfe nroductlon of small foxes. the dlametrlc ooposlte of what. they set. out to achieve. A second zenei-tttion of oufcrosslng will inevitably lead to a loss in slze and umsfffutlonal vfllbur. and in each subsequent. generation of oufcrosslng there will be n further loss ln slu- and vitality. Sticcessfve izent-rntlotis of oiitcrosslng have been the curse of the fox lndtisfry, which hus been brought. about in two ways: the promiscuous breed- ing of the new "blood" that has been lntrodtieed lntn the ranch and metlnrz as remotely related its pos- sible. restiltinw in the lll effects of nutcvcssliiiz withntit. any beneficial results of inbreedinz.

Llmlls of Mating

Another great curse of the fox Industry Ls mating foxes dceordlnﬂ to their p-ft villllf‘, independent of their ancestry. Fox breeders must use their judgment. ln outlining their matings, but wlthln certain limits. and lf the matings are out- side or these llmlts the judgment of the breeder with respect to pelt value. no matter how wood it may be, will be a handicap rather than an asset.

The aim of manv fox breeders appears w be to get a favourable "click". as ff fox breeding was en- t.lrely a matter of luck Sound fun- damental methods will eventually nrodtice favourable results. One "cuck" or one fnmllv of good foxes wtll not of itself lead to a progres- slve improvement.

Freak Foxes

However tmpurtaiit fundamental breeding methods may b9 Wm‘ respect. to standard silver they are more momentous still wlth respect to the sci-called freak foxes. Obviously, ‘the first mating of freak foxes witli stand- ard sllverfoxes would be a pro- nounced oulcross, which should be accompanied by a favoiable hybrid vigour, that ls large foxes with good vitality and izood bijeedinll quallfles would be produced 1n the first. cross of freak foxes and standard sllver foxes.
